Just recently I have been tested for allergies. To my surprise, the tests showed I'm allergic to quite a few things and the doctor recommended the dreaded injections.
One of the big items on my list-of-what-I'm-allergic-to is various pollens. Thus, colognes, after-shaves and perfumes are irritants. They tend to trigger allergic reactions. Which makes me pretty miserable. And this puts me in the position of asking you not to come in this office if you are wearing a fragrance. How awkward!
According to the allergist, the injection therapy helps you build up your own natural defenses - over a period of five to ten years.
I've already got six months of injections under my belt!
