Hayfever

Post Reply New Topic

So, allergy season just brought upon me this pollinosis hayfever which I am rather enjoying I must admit. My body seems to be filled with aching, a mild fever and a runny nose. As well as with a cold, though the sickening is rather much different, one aspect they do seem to be linked across. My psyche is so occupied with this sensations that there seems to be no place to process much of my surroundings thus freed, at least rather a lot of, the sensory overload.

So has anyone experienced any such similar situation?

PS: I am also experiencing an unrelated tooth ache which might well be helping but I am certainly not enjoying it.

No, for me, the sensory overload is still there.
I'm just too sick to process it, so I'm trapped with it.

It's hellish. I hate being sick.

I do like being sick but I think it was a lernt behaviour, it's kind of a recess where I can think without much distraction than the physical pain, I suppose a sensory overload is just as much physical as it affects the mind. So I guess the sickening being solely physical, that's nice to have once in a while.
I also get kind of off the hook , partially, from the sensory overload when I am really tired and exhausted. It mostly happens when I don't sleep for two days, I do this on porpuse so I'll get that my-mind-is-so-tired-that-there-is-only-space-for-my-thoughts-and-a-little-else-to-process of a feeling.

For me I don't like hayfever because I don't like runny noses and being itchy. It drives me mad

I've heard that bee pollen helps hay fever.

I'll do that as soon as I get some

Kill231 = compared to a cold I prefer the cold because I mostly just get a stuffed nose,what I like the most about a cold is to be outside at night in a cold night and feel how my "bones" ache, it's kind of a pleasent feeling

My sinus cavities are probably full of petrified killer t-cells from the amount of times I've had hay fever.

Funnily, ever since taking Seroquel for OCD/anxiety, it's been gone. Obviously the anti-histamine action in effect (that's what gives it its sedative effect). I really should have been taking an anti-histamine for most of my life.

I tried bee pollen capsules once, and my hands broke out in a very red itchy rash.

I do have trouble with my sinuses but I don't get hayfever. I've never really been prone to it.

I'm having the opposite problem with hayfever, actually. Right now, any warm environment without a breeze--something that normally doesn't bother me--is nigh intolerable. It was making me a little anxious on my bus ride to work this morning.

What is bee pollen? Do you mean honey?

I sometimes don't mind having hay fever if I can lie in bed all day and its not disrupting my work. But most of the time I hate it because I hate having anti histamine and if I don't take them I cannot breath properly and my head spins.

Bee pollen as I understand it is the pollen acumulations that get stuck in their bodies, I don't really know how it is harvested. It looks like a small brown to yellow sphere a little more of a milimeter long

I used to get hay fever pretty bad when I was younger, not so much now. One thing that does set me off is fresh cut grass, makes my eyes water and my nose run like crazy!
