Yesterday I started the 300u/ml at .05cc Once again, I had a delayed
reaction. Now the Allergist wants the shots stopped! I'm in such a
panic, as I know if she would just allow me to drop back a few shots,
and rebuild, I can make it through. The Allergist said that it's more
serious because they are delayed reactions. Has anyone else gone
through this and how has your Allergist dealt with it? I go on Monday
and will beg, threaten, do what ever I have to in an attempt to get
her to allow me to start again. I HAVE to have these shots. I can't
live as I did last summer... I just can't do it. I was a prisoner in
my own home... I can not do it again.

Hi Kari DON'T PANIC ! Like I just replied to Anna, other than the original sting, my reaction to the therapy has always been delayed and much worse hours...
Dear Kari  I had an awful summer last year as well keeping wasps and bees away from my allergic son. We went camping in Norfolk and the place was infested...
Hi Anna, Your description of camping made me smile - not a relaxing holiday. Great idea about the jam jar and apple core .... I will use them in the summer. I...
Dear Maggie  The jam/apple trick is good, but only if small, if it's too big it will become a wasp hazard in itself, as I discovered. Wasps seem to like meat...
Absolutely! Certainly adds a bit of tension to the summer :( Would explain why they like the BBQ ... In the house a spider will catch them - yeah, I am really...

-20!!! The UK ground to a halt with -6 .... which is really sad ..... Think your DH did the right thing - my youngest has a habit of telling me when there is a...
I'm actualy WAY better. Thanks for asking. It feels good to feel good! My friend here who is from the UK swears that our -20 is no where near as cold as -5...
Hi Kari, I was in precisely the same predicament as you and it took me a year of nagging and battling with the local hospital to get my immunotherapy started...
Wow, that is not comforting, as I am on the 6 month series to get to maintenance. I stated at 3u/ml .05cc. My first reaction was at 3u/ml .4cc. That's when...
There are certain conditions when immunotherapy is not advised but I am not aware than MS and Lupus are included. Pretty sure they are not issues at all. One...
Hi Everyone, I went to Liverpool for my final consultation yesterday after finishing the programme last October. The doctor told me that, although it had...
Hi Chris, It all depends on what your perspective is really Chris. If you were undergoing immunotherapy and having the maintenance dose every month or so then...
Hey Chris ....Hey Ya'll Starting last Jan 08, going into my fifth year of therapy, I asked my doctor about how I finish, or wind down the therapy. We decided...
Hi Robin, I have to say that I barely get any reaction to the venom injection whatsoever - not even a red mark. In fact it hardly hurts at all! What I do get...
David, I get yellowjacket and honey bee injections - at first, they didn't bother me at all, but as I moved up in the dosage, all I can say is OUCH. The ...
... them 3 years and they do hurt for about 24 hours still. im used to it and it dont bother me much anymore!!You are right the shots do hurt more than a real...
Rich - I had no idea they put that much venom in the injections! I knew it was two stings worth for a honey bee, had no idea it was that many for a yellow ...
... for wasp venoms anyways!!The funny part is most allegists dont even know they just think its 2 stings worth which is true for honeybee immunotherapy but...
HI David, You are of course completely correct, the cold light of day shows that. I was naturally a little disappointed to learn the news that I was not...
