[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and daughter started allergy shots about three months ago. Be aware that it is quite a time commitment. For the last three months, they have had weekly allergy shots. They will need weekly shots for about another 3 to 4 months after which they should change to monthly shots for the next 3 to 5 years.[/quote]

This, and after my doctor explained that I would likely still need allergy meds the whole time and may need them after, it seemed like it could be a gigantic waste of time and money. [/quote]

My son had weekly shots for a year at age 12.  Then bi-weekly for another year.   And then once month.  At 15, he has almost no allergies.

My husband who was on a more abbreviated schedule like the one you describe is taking a lot longer and seems once they switched him to more time in between so quickly- he reverted.

Different allergists, different practices.

I'm not sure why my son was on a longer one---it was just for tree/grass pollen and cats (though we don't have a cat--they said cats are everywhere so they should treat it while doing others).[/quote]
