I went to an allergy specialist yesterday and got skin tested. Results indicate that I'm severely allergic to Pollen, Dust, and some types of grass/plants and mildly allergic to a lot of other things. I never thought it was THAT serious. I have had breakouts where my nose runs all day long, constant sneezing and irritation/swelling in my eyes. It seems to happen 1-3 times per week. Anyway, the specialist told me I was one of the more severe cases he deals with.
I would just go ahead with the shots, but they are really expensive. $1300 one time fee (my insurance deductible is $1500). Then about $25 per visit. He said I need 3 shots each visit and 2 times a week for about 3 months, then move down to once a week. That's gonna cost me an extra $200/month! Not to mention the $1500 deductible I have to take care of. And he said it will have to be done for about 4 years!
This is a fairly large financial committment for me and I just need to know if they are really going to help me.
