Fortunately, thus far, oilseed rape is the only thing to be an issue for me, so I tend to keep an eye on the surrounding fields to see what's growing this year. If I'm just driving past, I can usually manage, but I definitely need anti-allergy meds if it's growing right near our home!

I react badly to the oilseed rape fields (coughing) which resulted in a diagnosis of asthma for me after decades of hay fever reaction to grass pollen. The grass pollen hardly bothers me now (in my 60s) but the yellow fields near where I live impact my breathing.

Just thought this morning may start but only symptom is runny nose for past month, may be unconnected. 🤔

I was already on them! I'm never sure if I need them in autumn/winter but I seem to get allergy symptoms then too so now I just carry on Dymista and fexofenadine all year.

And the trees are definitely well into their fun already - even on medication I've been noticing it.

Personally, I take my 180mg fexofenadine all the year round.

I'm on a prescribed double dose of antihistamines and i've still been hit hard with tree pollen this year.

I take Dymista all year for other allergies but have more watering eyes than usual.

Unfortunately, I need to use an antihistamine all year round.

I take Fexofenadine feb-sept but I'm still sneezing terribly. I cant increase because it causes headaches. I use a nasal spray all year.

As many others have said I too take antihistamines all year round, although I've just started Fasenra and it's looking good for great improvement in symptoms so 🤞😊 x N

I react to early tree pollens, grass, mugwort and moulds and fungus - so pretty much all year.

I voted no but now realise I should have voted yes🤣. I don’t start early only when I have symptoms but I take for tree pollen not grass, particular birch.

Thought it was advantage of being old, 81, no sneezing for years but hay-fever back with a vengeance. Taking Fexofenadine the last month and has improved. Birch trees for me and they're all up my road.
