After 45 weekly allergy shots I have finally reached "maintenance" and switched from shots to drops. PTL!!!
A year ago I decided to go with the shots because (1) it's a faster buildup & (2) shots are FDA approved and paid for by insurance-sort of. Even though we have good insurance I still paid about $30/shot and also paid for follow up visits to the allergist. The drops cost $90/3-4 months. Looking back in glad I did the shots and got to maintenance faster, but the cost is nuts.
Anyway I still have a buildup on these as well, getting up to 3drops/day for 3-5 years. It's suppose to build up my immune system and encourage my body not to make histamine when encountering an allergen. My allergies were progressively getting worse and I needed to build myself back up.
In this concoction are trees, cat dander, grasses, and weeds. Yummy! Actually they're sweet so it tastes nothing like cat! ;)
