Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I stopped getting allergy shots a little over a year ago. I was getting them for about 9 months to help me with my cat and dog allergies because my boys desperately wanted one. I have to admit they helped me with other allergies (trees and grass) and I stopped sneezing throughout the day for the first time in my life. I also noticed that I wasn't as sensitive to sunlight and didn't have to wear sunglasses outside. I did not notice a difference to dogs and cats. But the allergist told me I really hadn't gotten them long enough to deal with that allergy as that is the most difficult. We have recently acquired 2 kittens and I am back to feeling miserable. Does anybody know if there are preservatives in the allergy shots or if it is just the allergen itself? I am considering getting the shots again. I do not take medicine anymore. However, I feel the shots helped me stop having to take the allergy meds. Has anybody had their allergies to pets dissipate after eating raw? Thanks, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Beth- I haven't gone compeltely raw, so I don't know if that will help you with your allergies. I can say that when I switched to body washes that were all natural and paraben free, for some reason, my allergy symptoms decreased. I can hold my dog now, whereas before, he made me sneeze like crazy! It doesn't make sense, but that's the only change I made at that time! --- Beth Mouser <mouser4 wrote: > I stopped getting allergy shots a little over a year > ago.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi Beth and all, I'm not positive, but I think I remember David Wolfe et. al. claiming in their book that pet allergies went away for them, following changing to a raw diet. I read it a few yrs. ago but don't own it. Maybe someone else can verify? I can empathize...I had cats for several yrs. and didn't even realize the extent of my allergies until I finally had them stay at my in- laws' house for awhile. For the first time in yrs., I didn't go through a box of Kleenex a week!
