Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Hi , There are new mixes in the shots for the hyper-sensitive individuals. If your responses were related solely to the shots, there are new ways to deal. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2000 Report Share Posted June 18, 2000 My allergologist explained to me I should not get any allergy shots, any flu shots and thinks like that because of a risk that myimmune system won't tolerate that (I have low CMI and reacted a lot to the allergy testing - scratches) Stania -----Pùvodní zpráva----- Od: G.

I started getting worse and worse allergy symptoms and then started shots about 2 years before I 'got' CFS. Or maybe the allergy sx were the beginning of my CFS???? IMHO, the allergy symptoms are the result of being TH2 (or TH1, I can't keep up w/ all the info on this list). Treatment for allergies through shots is targeted at the offending allergen like ragweed, cedar elm, etc. Therefore, you would get no benefit from shots and you MAY get worse. Unless of course you know you are allergic to certain things like cats or some specific pollen on a seasonal basis. BUT, the shots COULD mess up your TH1/TH2 balance even more, IMHO. I'm getting over my head but the main thing is that I believe the allergies are secondary to the immune dysfunction of CFS, hence the acronym CFIDS.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2001 Report Share Posted February 10, 2001 , I'm allergic to pretty much everything - what some docs refer to as a universal reactor. I have taken allergy injections daily for about four years now and would not have survived were it not for the injections. I wouldn't exactly say my allergies are better, just controlled more, which allows me to eat without having such severe reactions. I've gained back a few of the much needed weight I lost. However, I go to an Environmental doc. Traditional docs usually use a preservative of some type, which might in and of itself cause a reaction. My extracts contain no preservative and I give myself my shots every night. Donna in NC Allergy Shots > Along with my CFS, I have developed allergies and > sensitivities to food and supplements.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Dianna You are not clueless. I think we may just be doing different kinds of shots. We do provacation neutralization. They inject you with lets say corn, then you react and then they find a neutrilzing dose at which you no longer react to corn. That neutralizing dose has a value assigned to it. If that changes over time for whatever reason the shots are not working. You are actually might it worst. --- dgeist@... wrote: > - > > Ana, > > What do you mean by the value of the shots?

It took quite a while for our allergist to trust my comments on behavioral reactions and rely on them to back off on the shot dose. He was used to basing his actions on skin reactions, which for some reason my daughter doesn't often have. And yes, it took quite a while for the shots to help - probably around a year. But they obviously help her. She had trouble at cottonwood time, then added cottonwood in and didn't have trouble the next season.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2002 Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 Stop the allergy shots... Your not suppose to be on Enbrel and Allergy shots at the same time.. Thats dangerous.. I cant believe your doctor let you take both of those together.. They should be fired. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Message: 4 Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 18:44:54 -0400 From: Amy742@... Subject: Allergy shots Hi All, I've been wondering how effective it is to receive allergy shots when you are on immunosuppressive drug therapy. It would seem to reason that if the allergy shots work by exposing you to small amounts of allergens to build up your immunity, that suppressing the immune system to treat PA might diminish this effect. I have been on allergy shots for three or four years and had been receiving some relief. A few months ago I began having severe injection site reactions prompting my doctor to decrease my dose. Since I was on a maintenance dose, the only difference has been that I am now taking Enbrel. I need to check this out with my allergist and rhuemy, but I thought I would also see if any of you have had similar experiences.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I have done allergy shots for about 12 years with NO help. The allergist just could not figure it out and would blame me for not getting the shots 2-3 times a week. I then went to Scripps to be desen and Dr. son suggested I get retested for allergy shots...........well long story short, the allergist could not believe I had NO reaction and no reason for allergy shots, so much so he WOULD NOT give me allergy shots. The desen to aspirin actually changed my Samters in such a way that my "allergies" were basically gone. Hope this helps some that are thinking about doing desen and even having to go thru those terrible shots again! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I guess I have been wondering, too. So far I have not been able to find anything that gives me any relief from the symptoms. I have tried all of the drugs, diets, vitamins/supplements, etc. Since I am now desensitized to aspirin (which hasn't helped my symptoms yet) I may try adding some of these other things that haven't worked in the past to see if I can get some relief. My theory is that I am sensitive/allergic to so many different things that I need to treat several areas at once. (or my body is so out of whack that nothing will help;-). I'll keep you posted. BTW I increased my aspirin dose to 3 tablets 2 times a day (1950mg) and have not noticed any improvement. I also tried taking 2 Singulair a day with the same results. One (bad) thing that I have noticed is that my asthma seems to be getting worse. I have had it in check for the last 2-3 years (no hospital/emergency room visits since 1999) but my polyps have been out of control. Don't know if it is the spring pollen here in PA or something else. Rob Allergy ShotsHi all,Just wondering if anyone has had any relief by taking allergy shots?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I take shots for dust mites. I've never had any problem with the shots themselves. They have not helped the classic Samters symptoms; but they have eliminated the sneezing fits I used to have, eg., sneezing 20 times in rapid succession. Now, however you've go me wondering. I'm going to check my records to see when I started the stots vs when I had my first ASA reaction.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hi Rob, I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but like a lot of things regarding Samters, it's more of a maybe. After my first (of two) sinus surgery in 1997, my ENT suggested that I take allergy shots. I started then and have continued. I do have allergies - various weeds and trees. Since taking the shots (I've been on an every-other-week maintenance for a couple of years), I have had much fewer allergic symptoms like hayfever. I rarely have a sneezing fit or itchy eyes or constantly dripping nose like I used to. The logic is that this lack of irritation to my mucus membranes should lead to less polyp growth and better breathing. I think it does - somewhat. Of course I've had allergies/hayfever all my life. Now, I can hardly tell when the ragweed is blooming. Of course it also helps that I now live in a semi-arid environment (but then, I found out I'm allergic to tumbleweed!). However, I still have about 5 or 6 infections a year which leads to congestion, asthma and general malaise. I still have sinus headaches and lose my smell and taste. That tells me (as we all know) that there is another mechanism that is causing the polyps to grow in addition to pollen and mold. Like some of the other stuff I take, I'm afraid to give up allergy shots because they "might be helping". Since I do have allergies, I think it is logical to keep taking the shots to eliminate some of the causes of irritation to my sinuses. I have also found my allergist to be much more knowledgeable about Samters and willing to try new treatments. I really consider him to be my "primary physician" these days. So, to sum it up, if you test positive for common allergies, I would recommend trying shots. For me, the shots have reduced congestion and nose running -blowing, especially in the autumn. I still take Zyrtec antihistamine, so I really can't tell how much of the reduction in symptoms is due to the shots or due to the drugs, but I feel much better than I did before the shots. Good luck! Jim Allergy Shots Hi, Has anyone ever had any success with allergy shots relieving any of the Samter's side affects. I am contemplating going to an allergist again (it's been over 10 years) but I haven't really seen where anyone has said that the shots have helped them. Thanks for your input!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 That pretty much sums up my situation too. I give myself a shot every week, am not sure that it helps, but something I have been doing has helped, and I am not willing to experiment by dropping this or that. My doc suggested that the shots would help slow the growth of those damn polyps and allow me to go longer before needing another sinus surgery. Karl W.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Agreed. I've espoused desensitization, but I THINK that the dust-mites shots that I started taking 5 years earlier, MAY BE, SL:IGHTLY, helping, and, if I miss one, I THINK that things KIND OF get worse.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 what is so wrong with meds? i get no side effects from my allergy meds. or any of my meds for that matter. my opinion is if side effects dont bother you, whats wrong with taking meds? Allergy Shots I just got my results back from my allergy test today. It says I'm allergic to lots of stuff. Dust mites, grass, pollen, cats and dogs, trees, and a few others. I've tried a lot of allergy meds and I didn't notice a difference w/ or w/o these meds. My mom is a health nut and DOES NOT take meds at all, it all has to be natural herbs. When I told her the doctor wants to put me on allergy shots, she flipped! She thinks allergies come from low imunity and that I need to cleanse my blood stream. She thinks it's a huge mistake to put meds on top of an imune system that's already so low. In her opinion the solution is to clean my blood stream and get more fruits and veggies in me to help boost my imunity. How many of you have allergies? Does this make sense to you guys? Sincerely, s, the Unique Princess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
