i'm wondering about giving myself allergy shots. i heard people are
taught to self-inject them in NC and SC.
what would be the best way to learn to give oneself an injection?
i had 24 allergies on allergy testing. i don't know how expensive 24
concentrates for the shots would be, or if you can get the concentrates
without a prescription. My allergies are pretty bad but not the kind of
severity that sends people to the hospital if they're around a cat.
i know the protocol pretty well now having gotten allergy shots almost two
years ...
are the allergy shots worth it? i have been getting them 1/week for 18
MONTHS now. It is hard to tell what has happened to my allergies. Some
are definitely worse, some are better. This fall is the first time i
noticed the grass flower season. i got sick for weeks. i haven't been
blaming this on the allergy shots -- i found out i was intolerant to
grains, milk and other foods and have been avoiding them (probably i was
celiac). People tell me after they go on a gluten-free diet their
inhalant allergies commonly get worse for a while then get better, getting
better can take years.
but with allergy shots, i have been sick for 1-2 days commonly after the
shots. Sometimes as long as six days! After 18 months i am still up to
only 1/10,000 of concentrate. If i gave them to myself i could go as
slowly as i like, without worrying about the cost.
