If u had allergies, would u take allergy shots?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

My sister had terrible hay fever that interfered with her job and personal life. She said the shots cost a lot, but after getting them for a year, her symptoms are 'way more managable.

I get a different type of shot from my doctor once a month in the summer months to control my seasonal allergies. It helps to stop me from coughing and wheezing from spring until fall.

Answer 2

I have allergies, but would never do allergy shots. I'm not comfortable with the idea of screwing around with people's immune systems. And, I once got a life-threatening virus from a shot, that was not supposed to be part of it, but got in during the manufacturing, and four years later I'm still recovering from the damage. Granted, it was a flu shot, not an allergy shot... but I would have stood a better chance if I had caught the flu. So, after that, no thanks, I figure I stand a better chance of surviving allergies.

Answer 3

Depends on what the allergies where and how badly I was affected. If my eyes were constantly streaming, nose running, skin breaking out in hives etc. then yes I would as the allergies would be affecting my life

Answer 4

Yes, I have them. No, I would never take allergy shots. I don't know anyone who has benefited from doing so and I'm not inclined to being poked repeatedly with needles.

Answer 5

I do have allergies but they're not severe enough to warrant shots. I would try them if nothing else worked.

Answer 6

It all depends on what your allergies are and how bad your reactions are. I know mine aren't bad enough for that, but my friends are and he takes the shots.

Answer 7

Nope! Too much time, too much money, and my allergies would have to be life-threatening to make it worth my while.

Answer 8

no, they're too expensive for me.
