pollen

Is it just me or has pollen kicked off massively over the last two weeks I have asthma and eczema. Threw out the year I have my ups a downs with asthma and eczema. Normally my eczema gets bad then my asthma kicks off massively. This year it has but so early I have gone to see my gp and he said lots of people finding it hard. My peak flow is up and down goes from normal to 50% below my normal. My GP has put me on prednisolone 50mg for the next two weeks and has said double my preventer (Symbicort 100/6) to 4 puff am and pm and my reliever (salamol) up to 5 times an hour. If I get wheezy ect or my peak flow drops below 50% he said 999 it as he said this is the worst year for pollen. He also sent me for an allergy test. Every interesting I have loads of allergy’s.

So far no need to call the men in green! Is it just me or have over people found it bad this year

My pharmacist commented that there could be an early pollen seasons when I went to pick up my antihistamines last month. Interesting though as my asthma has kicked off again the last week with post nasal drip etc. thought it was a cold but haven't had any other symptoms so maybe it is the start of something. Will ask my GP when I see him tomorrow. Every time I have an allergy test they seem to uncover something new! Hope the pred etc sort you out.
