Anyone have experience with the shots you can get to mitigate allergies/immunotherapy? I was thinking about getting them to temper my chronic sinusitis, and I don’t want to take Claritin for life.

I took them for a few years in middle/high school, and they worked well for me. If you don’t feel like going to a doctor every week for the shots (and you aren’t too freaked out by needles) you can usually also administer them yourself. My roommate in high school hated needles and shots, so I’d of course make sure to administer the shots while he was in the room.

Is it still expensive if you do the injections yourself?

At the time I was taking them I would have been on my parents’ medical insurance, so I’m not sure of the costs. I would imagine self-administration would be cheaper if only because you’re not paying for an office visit.
