Back in January 2010 I signed up for six Allergy shots, one per week, to get my immune system ready for the season. Spring 2010 was much better than the previous year. I think the shots had a lot to do with that.
I wanted to be sure the difference was because of the shots so I decided to skip January 2011 and did not get them. That was a bad decision. My allergies were so bad that I had to get a inhaler, SALBUTAMOL SULPHATE: APO-SALVENT CFC FREE INH 100UG
This past Tuesday, April 17th 2012, was my sixth and last "pre-season trees and grass" allergy shot. The doc told me that I can get two more if I want but the sixth shot was the biggest dose they give to patients and seventh and eighth shot would be the same dose. I'm not going for the 6th and 7th because this last shot has been difficult to deal with. My elbow has been red, itchy and swollen for more than two days and it's quite painful. Here's to hoping Summer/Spring 2012 will be manageable and much better than Summer/Spring 2011.
