Hay Fever Blog

Do you suffer from Hay Fever? If so how do you treat it and is it getting worse? :

Hay Fever is so called because it involves some kind of allergic reaction to air born pollens. We are launching this blog in June because this is the high point in the number of suffers in the northern hemisphere.

We are running this Blog because we are interested in the opinions and experiences of people who suffer from Hay Fever.

In particular we are interested in exploring the following questions:-

• At what age did you start to suffer from Hay Fever and what are the symptoms?
• Has it gotten worse over the years? Does your location (i.e. town or county) affect the severity?
• What treatments do you use? Have you tried “alternative treatments”? If so which ones do you use and how effective are they?
• What impact if any has it had on your working life?
• What was the quality of support like from Healthcare Professionals such as physicians and nurses?
• If you had one piece of advice for a fellow sufferer what would it be?
• Would you be interested in contributing to an online encyclopaedia for other patients?

Thanks very much in advance for your help. Please feel free to check back on the blog to see what others have said and perhaps contribute further thoughts.

I look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input. Finally can I ask you to bear in mind when you blog that you comments will not just be read by other bloggers and The Patients’ Voice team but also , in some cases, the clients for whom we work.

Best wishes

Belinda
