(oo) <- a somewhat less irritated nose
I've gotten quite a few replies to my article, "Allergies and Treatments
Thereof," and I felt it would be beneficial to others to post a summary
to the net. This is extracted from replies and followups to net.med.
Results: Ten replies in favor of the shots, one unfavorable, two uncommitted,
and one person who swears that vitamin C is the answer.
I started the shots two weeks ago, and I'm happy to report that I've
had no problems with them. They started me on a very small dose of
weeds, grasses, and trees, and a somewhat larger dose of dusts and
molds. I am so badly allergic to some of these substances that I
had a systemic reaction to the *scratch tests*, so they're playing
it pretty safe.
I'll post a followup in September when the weeds come in. The shots
should have done some good by then.
