I have allergies all year round! Now allergy shots…the goal is to give gradual exposure so that the body can “get use to it” and become desensitized. It’s supposed to make the body react less to the allergens. But why haven’t the body “gotten use” to the allergens after years of exposure and symptoms already? Claritin and Zyrtec isn’t working…even with a combo usage of Sudafed. Help!?

I thought I was just getting seasonal allergies, with sneezing and watery eyes. But then it went into my head and now I’m stuffed up and have a cough. Today, I started getting kind of sick to my stomach. I tried Nyquil last night. Didn’t help and I’ve taken some Zyrtec today but still feel cruddy.

Anyway to tell the difference between a cold and allergies?

We’ve tried herbal remedies, i.e. grapeseed extract, allergic tonic and etc. However, they don’t seem to be that effective. He’s used Zyrtec in the past and it was helpful. I am wondering if allergy shots are the most effective way to combat allergies? I would appreciate any advice from fellow allergy sufferers. Thanks.
