I've been getting shots for over three years, and I still don't know if they help. Getting sinus surgery and hospital grade air purifiers for my house made much more of a difference. I'm pretty well set with indoor allergies thanks to the filters, but outside is still a huge challenge.Off topic but have you considered immunotherapy, i.e. allergy shots. I was just as bad if not worse than you for the longest time. Pollen, grass, dust, dander- pretty much everything set me off. In Nov. of last year I started a weekly allergy shot regimen. It definitely requires that you stick with it, but we are now ramping up into allergy season here in NY- pollen on cars so thick that you can write your name on it. In the past I'd have my eyes welled up, difficulty breathing, dripping nose- now, nothing. I sat in my brother's car where his St. Bernard normally takes up the entire back seat. Windows were closed and air was circulating- no reaction. Normally, I couldn't be within 10 feet of the dog or even in the same room where the dog was 3 days prior because of the dander.
I can't say enough about the shots. They have given me such a quality of life that I'd never seen before to the point where we are probably getting our first dog in a few months.
