@jeridansky thanks. I did a four year stint of them a few years ago and they helped a lot. But apparently in my case I should have kept them up. ️ I just kept ignoring that my allergies were getting worse and worse again. I am hopeful that this time will be the charm. I opted for at home daily drops even though not covered by insurance - especially as I do not want to be in an ENT waiting room for 20 minutes after each shot with people hacking away! ‍

It still irks me no end that insurance will cover weekly IN-OFFICE allergy shots, but not at home daily sub-lingual drops. I gather because FDA hasn't approved sub-lingual for allergies, but OFFS. I gather the sub-lingual are faster acting too. I don't think there's much of a price difference, and of course there's the disruption and cost of an office visit for injections. So ridiculous.

So it's about a month now and here's my updated report (yes this is a TMI type post) about the advice my ENT gave me to add half a teaspoon of baby shampoo to my 1-2 x day nasal irrigation. IT REALLY GETS THE GOOP OUT! Still have post nasal drip from allergies (I was bright red all columns and max reaction for all when I had a recent skin test) BUT such an improvement in getting the goop out. I start sublingual immunotherapy next week. Hoping that helps quickly!
