- Netcob 4mo agoDo you mean "hypo-sensitization" aka "allergen immunotherapy"? I tried that too but couldn't really tell whether it worked either. My experience was about antihistamines, which are definitely effective.
- Obscurity4340 4mo agoBut how long was your regime before you turned back to antihs? My impression was it was weekly at first for 1-few months then monthly for like 5 years. Wish i had started like yestercade :(
- tedmiston 4mo agoAllergy immunotherapy (shots) work by gradually desensitizing the immune system for your specific allergens over several years, so yes. Some people can get to the point where they no longer need a daily antihistamine, but it's all very personalized and individual. In any case, it's worth doing the skin prick allergy shot testing so you can have some idea of what common allergens affect you and the intensity of each.
