re: Allergy shots...are they worth the cost and drive and wait at doctors office?

You say you have experience but yet you don't think sublingual drops have the same risk of anaphylaxis as shots...hmmmm. You are actually at greater risk for a longer period of time since they are taken daily. Must carry Epipen 24/7.

You may be "familiar" with it and may have read some on line papers, but this is part of what I do for a living and have done for 15 years. I am glad you are happy with your doctor's protocol and ultimately that's all that matters, but I can unequivocally say that self-administered maintenance dose immunotherapy for a properly educated patient is 100% commonly accepted practice.

Whatever you do, do not get SHOTS. This is an archaic practice being kept alive due to financial interests and typical FDA corruption.
Europe and the rest of the planet uses oral immunotherapy (drops or pills).
There is zero reason for shots in the large majority of cases, and the fact that we still do it here in the USA is an embarrassment.

Sublingual is definitely a nice option. Unfortunately most insurers do not reimburse for drops so you will likely have to pay out of pocket.
