So I've always has allergies. From roughly mid-April until September I sniffle and sneeze, and try to keep a box of Kleenex close at hand. But up until now it has always been a minor nuisance.

Not this year. For some reason this you is brutal. I can't go ten minutes without blowing my nose. My head aches, my sinuses feel like they are imploding, and my throat is sore. To top it all off, I think all this sneezing if making me dehydrated. I've self-medicated with some over the counter Claritin, which has made it livable but far from plesant.

So I'm finally thinking of going to an alergist and starting to get alergy shots. Does anyone have experience with this? Are there other treatments the allegist might reccomend? If I do get shots, how often will I get them, and more importantly will they really help.
