Usually I get hayfever from the beginning of June for about two weeks... Only this year, it's been going for 10 weeks, and still going strong!
I've tried everything - all the various tablets which stop the sneezing, but not the bunged up-ness. Various spray things, which work for all of 5 minutes still the snot is streaming again, Olbas oil on a tissue or the pillow is good, but not for very long... It's driving me nuts, haven't been able to eat without holding my breath for 2 months and I keep waking the girlfriend up with horrendously loud breathing in the mornings, which isn't good! Also, the excess snot (sorry for the mental image!) has clogged one of my ears up, which needs syringing according to the GP, and my sinuses are really sore too...
Anyone got any good old fashioned remedies or tricks to de-snot oneself??

Have you tried melting a teaspoon or two of Vicks Vapour Rub in a bowl of very hot water, and inhaling the fumes?
Technique is such: Place large towel over back of head, so that it hangs down in such a fashion as to cover the bowl, effectively creating a tent containing your head and bowl. Close eyes, very tightly, and place Vicks into bowl. Inhale until you can stand no more.
Probably not a permanent solution but may help clear you out a bit.

s to me....
I've got a mate who has hayfever all year round. I remember last winter he was there in the snow and a tissue wiping his nose.
This was before he went for his injection for it!
I'm not too sure about the details as I didn't really ask but its apparently injected in the ass cheek!
If its gotten to the stage where you've tried everything else to no avail, then its definetly worth asking your GP about it.
My mates completely fine for a good 8-9 months at least.
Good luck! I know how bad it is when you've got it but fotunatly the tablets are enough for me
Cheers
