[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone share concerns with oit?[/quote]

Hi, my daughter is almost done with her first year of OIT for cashew at Schreiber allergy. She is a few weeks away from maintenance, which basically is for life, unless we decide to stop or switch gear. My daughter is 10 and while it has been a bumpy road, she appreciates the freedom it gives her. She is more confident about making decisions about what she can eat, and much less worried about a severe reaction. Also Schreiber allergy is wonderful, the best allergist we have seen (and we’ve seen Wood and Scarupa, among others).
The negatives are that it can be time consuming to do the daily dosing, with the two hour rest period. She usually works on homework though, so that helps. In addition, as I mentioned above, we don’t really have an end point, so she will likely have to dose every day for the future unless her numbers say otherwise. The first year can be pricey but insurance covered most for us. Overall it’s been a very positive experience and we don’t worry about her as much.
Happy to answer any additional questions! [/quote]
