I got an allergy test once and practically everything i had a reaction with. T_T It really sucks since i can't eat alot of foods and we shots are banned here. How do the shots work? Is it just for things like pollen or can you get it for food allergies too? How often do you need them and how effective do you find them?
Did I ever say that I have eczema??
:confused: Getting old, don't remember. Hehehe.......i'll try it. Thanks.Shots: The doctors give us allergy shots. Mainly the shots are for pollen/ seasonal allergies. Actually, I do think that they work pretty well. However, if possible, take a shot every 1/2 a year, especially if you feel weaker in health.
The effects generally start to wear off after 9 mths.
Ur allergy test is the best way to find out what you are allergic to. I'm too lazy to go have mine done since it requires a lot of appointments. My friend did it and he had specific treatments. He's been doing it for, i think 3 years now, his allergy symptons are fast subsiding. Maybe I'll have to go do those tests too.
