I know exactly how you are feeling - I felt precisely the same way
and far more prepared to take the risk of immunotherapy than the
doctors. This allergy feels like living under a constant threat and
that feeling is such a cloud to have to live under. Treatment gave
me my life back!

It is a frustration that some of us find immunotherapy tougher than
others - we have about 20 people coming in for their shots at my
allergy clinic and the vast majority just come in, have their shot
and a cup of tea (this is England!), and walk out an hour later
without giving the experience a second thought.

Others have differing reactions but these can be moderated by the
level of the venom doses and as long as you start off at a feeble
unreactive dose and go slowly you do seem to get there in the end.

The key is patience and determination and your allergist needs your
support just as much you need his/hers - people like us are
definitely outside of their comfort zone.

Please do keep in touch and let us know how it goes!
