Im Allergic

Can someone tell me what allergy shots are? Also, include information such as cost and what the risks are? Any info about them is great! THANKS!

Allergy shots are a tiny fraction of the substance to which you are allergic; like one part per million. Over several years they slowly build up the dosage until it is as strong as what you would encounter naturally. By then you no longer react to it and you do not have hayfever or the other allergies the shots were for. They cost $25 per week and that may last for five years. Then it is $25 twice a month for a couple of years. The risk is analyphalsis; the nurses have you stay in the office for nearly half an hour after the shots to see whether you will have a reaction. Also it can cause some local itching, like a bug bite. I had a series of allergy shots lasting nine years and it really helped me. I never did have a severe reaction to any of my shots.

i wore contacts for roughly 6 months prior to developing an allergic reaction to them. my symptoms included bloodshot eyes, itchy eyes (after taking them off), also they became extremely uncomfortable after wearing them for more then 30 min. My optomitrist also said i developed bumps underneath my eyelids, due to the allergic reactions. i have tried daily, weekly, and monthly disposables. NONE work. are there other products that will not cause such an allergic reaction?

I have really sensitive eyes, too. There are many different kinds of contacts that are made out of different materials (not just different period between throwing them away). If you are able to try a bunch out, you may find a kind that works for you. It just really depends on your eyes. Also, the cleaning solution can be irritating as well. I was given this little thing that you put your contacts in, squirt the solution in, and let it sit overnight. It’s basically peroxide, so it cleans the lenses without leaving anything else on them, as it turns to water overnight. (This type of solution should obviously never, ever be put into the eyes.) When using this type, you can just use saline if you need to re-wet the lenses.

As for me, I gave up on finding a comfortable pair after trying three or four different kinds. I’ll stick with my glasses!

I know it’s gross, but recently I have found my whole allergy pill in my stool more than once.
Google provided me with no information. Please help!
