Sue, I have had my whole body swell up from the hives, or sometimes just one lip so I look like a duck, I have been getting allergy shots for years now, and I only have very light breakouts, usually on my legs, and not even too itchy. I get my shots every 2-3 weeks. I can say that it is not something from my house, because I could get them on vacation in motels, etc. I would say I am 98% cured, so I don't complain anymore. I hope you get rid of yours as well. My wife just came in so I must say goodbye. Ken B
