Hayfever in Thailand

[sikishrory]

I am interested to hear if other Hayfever sufferers are affected living in Thailand.

In South East Australia my Hayfever is chronic and without medicine I am basically incapacitated. Constantly sneezing, red eyes. It is unbearable without medicine.

I did an allergin test a while back in Thailand. It showed up as having a strong allergy to grass and trees.

There are grass and trees and flowers everywhere in Thailand where I live and I get nothing. In 9 years nothing at all.

Anybody know the reason for this?

I am considering moving to the tropical north east part of Australia and wondering if because it is tropical like Thailand I will get it or not.

What are other peoples experiences?

I was in a similar situation and now take an antihistamine and a steroidal nasal spray to keep it under control. If I take just one or the other they are totally ineffective.

 

Are you sure it is a pollen related reaction? If not, moving won't help.

 

I am allergic to myself!!! I react to the release cortisol, particularly when waking up.

Keep it under control in Thailand you mean?

A Mi air filter helps me and it really only affects me when I wake up and for a little time after.

 

A few blows of the nose and its gone until tomorrow morning. Strange.

I bought one of those mi filters for my condo. It was always at 0 so after a month I sold it. I guess the air was pretty clean anyway

I would suggest that you got a broken one. I live in the sticks with generally clean air and I have never gotten a zero.

Started with my reaction years ago in Germany*........I do try coming off the meds every now and then to see if I can survive without them......tried that a few times in Germany, the UK and Thailand....after a week it is unbearable and I have to start taking the meds again.

 

*Started in very dramatic fashion......in a restaurant in Wiesbaden eating Chili Con Carne and boom......started sneezing and never stopped for about two weeks until the meds kicked in.

My rationale was that I was in the 25th floor above all the filth

That sounds like cortisol.....perennial hormonal rhinitis.....cortisol is released as you wake up to kick start your body.

My daughter had it terrible, turned out she was allergic to two types of grass pollen specifically found in Asia.
