My wife.

How well do they work?


Seems to be helping. She took them as a kid for a while, too.

Are they expensive?


As frick.

She's allergic to a few things each season...so there is no worse season for her. She's currently taking shots twice a week. That's been going on for a few weeks...maybe 5. That will soon pare down to once a week, and then to fewer and fewer...but the course will run for 3-5 years I think.

She had gotten to the point where she was having to carry around an inhaler. She still does, but the need is less and the hope is that soon that will be unnecessary.

I've gotten a steroid shot because my allergies are so bad, in fact I got it about 3 weeks ago.

I've had really bad allergies my whole life, even food allergies (Seafood, peanuts, nuts)
The steroid shots work, but only temporarily. This season got so bad that my asthma came back and I'm on a shite ton of medicines right now but they seem to be helping.

I think weekly shots affect everyone differently. Works for some doesn't work for others.
