Post by **losCHUNK** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 8:46 pm

although ive never had it before.... EVER

so WTF ? i didnt think you developed hayfever

does this mean ill get it all the time now ?

Post by **Foo** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 8:48 pm

Possibly. I've developed it over the past few years.

I think you're more suceptible if you're unfit or run down, but that might be BS.

hmmm, might be that as ive been drinking a far amount over the summer but i do that every summer

tis a bitch, its like a head cold but more annoying

could it have something to do with my neighbour planting some new flowers n all ? (im guessing its all his fault *grabs bat*)

They often are hereditary, but allergies can develop any time. It just requires sensitization to an allergen, and then reexposure. It may also be possible that you've been allergic all your life, but it required a heavy exposure to pollen to trigger a reaction.

You can develop allergies.

edit and i should read the whole thread before i post..so I better add something useful.

IgE, histamine granules, mast cells.

discuss.

I use Rhinocort nosespray (budesonide) and I never sneeze again in the summer.

I use Flonase. It has gotten me completely off my need for Neo Synephrine nasal spray (I was using oxymetalozine hydrochloride to deal with congestion for way longer than I should have...flonase has been a godsend.)

Good evening

I myself developed the symptom at 26YO.
Nothing that I done to make it to happen.
I remember having to leave the kitchen table at diner time to go blow my nose because I was sneezing so much and it got me dizzy at some time.
Even in an intimate moment ( making love ) I had to go blow my nose.
The first few years were the worst for me.
I’ve read about it. You should slow down on all the milk derivate thing, as cheese…
It last for……7 years with period of a few years rest, then come back for another 7 more.
I have tried the ‘’antismenite’’ sorry I don’t know the exact word…May be TNF will tell us. Careful though, even if it says that you won’t get any drowsiness, try it with a few beer…You won’t be able to drive your car.
Good luck.
Pete

Basophils, IL-5.

I must say, tnf, for being out of grad school for a few years, you sure do retain your information. I think I forgot all about allergy mechanisms less than a year after my classes. I had to pick it up again for my job, but still... I'm impressed.

Heh...I actually was blessed with a really good memory. It was almost photographic before I started drinking. It made up for the fact that I had shitty study skills.

The irony of this all is that I happen to be drinking right at this moment. :icon30:

*note to self: do not attempt to discuss anything concerning biology with tnf right now...*
