I get them every week and they do WONDERS. You go, get tested for exactly what you're allergic to and how (tactile, anaphylactic, etc). Then they'll start by giving you a small, watered-down dose of it once or twice a week. Increasing your dose, you'll go to once every 2 weeks, once every 3, etc. Then, when you seem to be getting over it, they'll start you on a high dose once a week, twice a week, etc until it's completely gone. It worked WONDERS for me. I'm not even allergic to all the foods I used to be once my other allergies were controlled- mainly pollen, weeds, and cat. I can even have a cat now without even feeling it!!! It's been three years and I'm starting my highest dose at every 3 weeks so I should be good for a while. And, during the spring, I can actually go outside and enjoy the day. I still have to put eye drops in and if I'm going to be somewhere that I have to be quiet and outside (ie, my sister's graduation last year) I use my Rhinocort too. But seriously, allergy shots and a daily pill (I take Allegra) work amazingly. Very expensive though if you don't have insurance. I do have insurance so they don't cost me even a co-pay, but my friend doesn't and says the price is brutal. They’re called allergy shots. I get them every week and they do WONDERS.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE ANAPHYLACTIC!!!!(swell up and choke; have to go to hospital or use epipen kind of reaction) 1. Find out EXACTLY what you are allergic to; a substance that resides in all things that cause a reaction. 2. Go to your doctor and ask if you can undergo a precedure i forget the name of. It involves getting a series of needles at increasing intervals. This needles inject what you are allergic to into your blood and cause a SLIGHT reaction. Over time this will make you immune. 3. Make a plan with your doctor when you are immune so that every month or so you get another needle to keep up your immunity. NOTE: Doesn't always work. I personally have done this for my own allergy to certain texta inks and succeeded: for a while. I couldn't be stuffed to keep getting needles so I stopped. For some reason, i still havn't lost my immunity and all is good so if this the same for you, I have solved your problem! YAY ME! You appear to have stumbled on something I have looked at before.
