Our six year old, Christian has been getting two allergy shots a week since March of 2008.  About six months ago, I decided that my allergies were out of control and perhaps I too would benefit from getting allergy shots.  I was right an have been getting three allergy shots every week along with Christian getting his.  I cannot believe how much the allergy shots have helped me over the past couple of months, I feel like a totally different person.  When I miss a week, I can feel the symptoms that I had before ever starting this process. 

Generally after the first year of getting allergy injections, they drop you down to every other week.  For Christian, this has not happened yet.  Our doctor said that since his allergies are so bad and he has had so many sinus infections, we needed to keep him on the same schedule.  At his last check up, the doctor said that he is doing great but that since I am coming every week anyways, bring him too.  I am looking so forward to the day when we don't have to get shots at all but I know that is still a long time away.
