allergy shots?

[lo123]

I have had allergy shots 3 times in my life: as a young child, in high school, and again in my 30s. I quit each time because I had a quasi-reaction asthma like attack every time I had a shot. I would just generally feel like crap afterwards.

Same thing here, except I have severe asthma in addition to really bad allergies, so I'd have a MAJOR reaction every time I got a shot once I got to a certain level of serum. Let's just say after you get severe reactions a few times, it's just not worth it. My mother has had the same experiences in her 3 times with immunotherapy.

So, for some people it doesn't work. That said, I say give it a try... If I knew I could take the shots and survive without my 6 allergy/asthma meds, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
