Complete remission of symptoms when I have hay fever - anyone else had this?

[redo]

When the pollen is high here in New Zealand in the spring, and my hay fever kicks in, I remain well the entire time till it passes. In fact, during this hay fever period, I can even do quite strenuous exercise (1 hour walks daily). In fact, if not for the hay fever itself (runny nose, drowsiness etc.), I’d even say my health is 100% back to normal. As soon as the hay fever passes, things go back to crap again. If I could only bottle whatever pollen is causing the hay fever, I’d have my own personal cure!

Fascinating!

A few years back I had an allergic reaction to something I drank or ate, and for some strange reason I felt better while the allergic reaction lasted. I've felt slightly better while having common illnesses also, such as things like the flu.

I know it's an old thread, but have you tried the hay fever medication Allegra? I am about to get on that for a few months. It takes a while to get the full effect, it's said.

Rhinitis makes all my symptoms only worse. Once I tried supplemental pollen orally and all hay-fever symptoms started on the spot.

Not quite the same but a mild (not bad) cold virus can reduce my symptoms by up to 50-60%.

I wonder if when the immune system is busy with something else, something "normal", it functions more correctly, thereby reducing ME symptoms to a certain extent.
