I've been on allergy shots for 5 years, but I had SEVERE allergies. I was badly allergic to every fucking plant my allergist tested for and he flat out said "Well, all we can do is hope that we get you to the point where you don't have to take antihistamines every day."

We started out every week for a couple years, and then went down to every other week until last year, when we went to once a month. I get tested again in April and I should be able to stop the regular allergy shots then. My allergist said that some people continue the maintenance dose after they technically don't need it, but I probably won't because it's kind of a pain in the ass to get downtown ATM because of my back.

My main allergy symptoms were fatigue and watery eyes. If I miss a shot due to like weather or something, I just go in a week later and adjust my schedule accordingly.
