"OMG! What are you DOING!?" -my body, post-shots
Today was my first trip to the allergy clinic for immunotherapy. I did a test of my vials first (two shots), then waited ten minutes to check my reaction. I did fine with that, so I then got my actual doses (two more shots). I then waited 20 more minutes to make sure I didn't die.
Immediately upon getting my shots, I felt funky. Foggy/tired, runny nose, and scratchy throat. It was crazy. I wasn't expecting to have a reaction like that, but it helped me to understand just how powerful these allergies are. I sort of take it for granted because I've lived with it for so long.
The allergy clinic works like a well-oiled machine. They got me in and out quickly. I'm pleased that I'll be able to fit this in relatively easily into my routine. And I'm looking forward to feeling the results in a few months!
Did you tell them you had that reaction ?
