Is There A Cure For Really Bad Allergies???

[dnightshade]

I am dying with really bad allergies. I never had them before but in the past decade or so they've been really awful. I've had the allergy tests and seems I'm allergic to most everything. But it's not like this all the time. I dread the idea of going back for twick weekly allergy shots - with the big needle - but seems that's my only hope. I take Benadryl at night - and it helps me sleep - but I can't take anything during the say 'cuz even the non-drowsy meds make me sleepy. Does anyone have any ideas, esp. holistic? A friend suggested acupuncture, which I believe in, but I've never had it before and I'm a bit nervous at the idea.
