Hi,
My doctor is (strongly) recommending that I get allergy shots (Rush immunotherapy). I have allergies and allergic asthma...I sorta take a lot of medication to control both the allergies and asthma. From the information my doctor gave me, it seems like a good idea...decrease medication usage and symptoms, keep the cat, etc. I've looked up allergy shots on the Internet and it seems like all I see is how people have had bad reactions to the injections.
I'm wondering if there are any people here who have done Rush immunotherapy and what their experiences were. What was your Rush day like? Was it ok? Did you have bad reactions? What were the weekly shots like? Overall did you get the results you expected? How does your medication usage now compare to before you did Rush immunotherapy? Was your dose of asthma controller medication reduced? Do you still take allergy medication? If you go to other areas are you allergic to new things? Well, you get the idea...I have a ton of questions.
Any information and/or a description of your experience would be wonderful.
