Anyone have experience with the shots you can get to mitigate allergies/immunotherapy? I was thinking about getting them to temper my chronic sinusitis, and I don’t want to take Claritin for life.

Currently in my (I think) 4th year out of 5. I took them because I kept getting adenoid infections and wanted to avoid two surgeries. Has been a major improvement, but I still have to take an allergy pill every day and the occasional nasal spray. Hadn’t had another infection since year 1. You have to get shots every 3-7 days for several months and then they slowly spread it out over time. I’m once a month now. If you don’t have insurance it’s very expensive, especially the first year.
