I have allergies all year round! Now allergy shots...the goal is to give gradual exposure so that the body can ';get use to it'; and become desensitized. It's supposed to make the body react less to the allergens. But why haven't the body ';gotten use'; to the allergens after years of exposure and symptoms already? Claritin and Zyrtec isn't working...even with a combo usage of Sudafed. Help!?How does desensitization therapy and allergy shots work for people with allergies?
For some reason, the pollens you are being exposed to are too strong for you to get used to them. The shots are much weaker; and then they gradually increase the dosage. I had allergy shots for nine years and it really helped. It may take a couple of years for you to see an improvement from the shots.
