No, but I do have a prescription nasal spray for allergies.

No, never have. Those shots have to be refrigerated, and it's a creepy feeling to be injected with a cold dose. Ask to hold onto it for a bit if you can, or stick it under your armpit.

No. I am not. I will not. I'm not real sure if I believe they are good for people.

I did them about 25 years ago... not sure if it made a difference or not. It was a pain the butt, though.

I was on allergy shots as a teenager from age 13 to 15. The shots did diddly-squat apart from give me a welt on my arm and drain on the wallet. Still coughed and sneezed my head off! Tried everything nothing worked neither over the counter or prescription. Then one day a 2nd Doctor I was reffered to tried something completely different. He stopped the shots and the antihystamenes and put me on one very low dose of buspar (0.15mg) per day. One pill every 24 hours taken at breakfast. In just ONE MONTH all of my allergies to grass, pollen, ragweed etc cleared up. Turns out it was my own nervosness that was triggering the hystamine reaction meaning the trouble breathing, sneezing, runny nose etc. and the pollen was just the trigger for my own body going into overdrive. I was later slowly weaned off the buspar during a 2 or 3 months period later. I was 16 when this was done. My allergies have been under control with OTC meds ever since and no longer need the Rx prescription stuff. I do not know if this is the right thing for you, but it worked for me. Talk to your Dr if you have allergy and are reading this. Again it was my own anxiety and fearfull anticipation of an attack which became my own worst enemy and triggered the same! a light sedative cured 3 years of seasonal misery in 1-2 months. Whatever it was or did, it worked for me! Hope this helps someone. again PLEASE do not experiment with ANY drugs - see your Dr. about this approach first. Good health and good fortune.

I don't trust the benefits of filling our bodies with that crap. I don't think there's a way to know something like that is 100% safe. Also, on a more paranoid level... I don't trust them.
