Anyway, after enduring this torture for a couple of years I finally went to my ENT doctor and asked him if anything could be done. They did the allergy tests on me and figured out what I was allergic to. I had to get shots about once a week for around 4 weeks. Then about once a month for a few months and that was it. I was totally cured. And now over 20 years later, I'm still perfect. I go out to the barn and pet the horses and have no problems whatsoever.

I use to take allergy shots as a kid.. from age 4 to 14. I stopped then( I was a teenager and not having many allergy problems.) When teh allergies started kicking in I began taking Loratadine ( a knock off of Claritin-- and at about 1/10th the price!!) You can get this generic version at Target or BJ's. Sorry about your allergy issues, I feel your pain.
