Shots ARE scary!
But I agree, they do work. I had severe environmental allergies when I was little and did the shots for a while and I did notice a difference. We had to stop b.c it took two nurses to hold me down, lol. I probably need to get retested and go back on them. 
It’s good you’re going to see an allergist, that way they can tell you exactly what to do to manage your allergies. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to have pets and such as long as you work w your doctor.
My friend’s dad is a doctor and deals a lot with people with allergies, she says (though I’ve never tried it) that as an alternative to shots, they can make this serum with what ever it is that prevents your body from reacting to the allergens and you put a drop or two under your tongue daily. Supposedly it works really well, though idk – this is all just from what I heard from my friend. -

Barbie, would it freak you out if I told you that I gave the shots to myself for years? Haha
I loved it because I didn’t have to waste time at the doctor every week. I’m pretty sure they don’t let you do that anymore
Currently I’m getting 3 shots a week! (all at once) I really don’t mind the shot part, but I’m at a high concentration so they are kind of sore for a day or so afterwards which is annoying.
eta: I’ve also heard about those drops! The serum is really exactly the same as the stuff in the shots (more or less) but instead of injecting you just ingest it. I keep hearing about it, but I have yet to find an allergist who offers it
Definitely something to ask about! -
Elrohwen, yes that DOES freak me out! Yikes! When I was in lower school, I had a friend who had to give herself growth hormone shots daily… I guess it’s no different from a diabetic having to do insulin shots but… eeeek
I’m glad yuu can stand it! I know the shots do help. Mirbear, I wanted to add that I know what you’re going through, I’m allergic to Leroy
and I know how miserable allergies can make you. ((Hugs!))) -
