Hayfever is the bane of my life. The last 5 years were cursed, I dreaded going out of the house. I felt humiliated when I’m in enclosed spaces because I sniff, snort & sneeze my way home. Often my eyes are so itchy, red & raw that I do look positively dying. I often often pray and beg God that if I have to lose my job, that it doesn’t fall in the summer time.

It irritates me no end when someone completely ignorant of hayfever, or those who have vague ideas about it, act as if they can’t believe I have done nothing about this plague.

Most of the time I just say “yeah I suffer a fate worst than others“. But nooohhh, these people are intent to discuss the subject. As if I have not thought to ask my GP for “stronger” medication.

I have exhausted every means at my disposal to ease my suffering. I drank disgusting concoctions. I  have tried more expensive non-NHS desensitization treatments. And last year up until Spring 09 I was doing more pricking-with-needles treatment with NHS. It was only stopped because it’s already peak season & the recommendation was to continue in Autumn.

Now that I am cured I can breathe & not worry so much. BUT I am still affected by pollens. So when a colleague said yesterday that my hayfever was bad, I had to laugh. Bad?? This is me cured!
