I had that test done a few years ago too. I'm allergic to everything but cockroaches. Nice, huh?

I've found that my allergies can be controlled with allergy meds quite well. But I've been curious about the injections. How does that work?
What they did for my son is they took everything that he is allergic to and made an injection out of it. Every Friday he comes in and they inject a small amount of pollens in one arm and dusts and dander on the other arm. Each week, they increase the dose so that his body makes a natural immunity. He has to go weekly for about 8 months, then for about 5 years he has to go once a month, after that, they do it yearly.
