  Hi, I took allergy shots for over 30 years as I was like you - the list of things I wasn't allergic to was much shorter than the list of things I was allergic to. I have been off shots now for over a year and doing as well as I was on them. I take a generic equavalant for Claritin. It made me so exhausted at first that I could hardly function, so I cut the tablet in half & only took half for awhile until I could tolerate the full tablet. I find that if I try to stay on my list of safe foods, I do so much better; even the environmental allergies are lessened. Dr. McDougal published a book that gives an allergy testing diet; you eat only 7 foods that almost nobody is allergic to in the beginning & add one food at a time, keeping a journal of your reactions. It will definitely pinpoint what is safe for you to eat; there really isn't any reliable patch test for food allergies according to my allergist. When I stay on my safe list, the difference in how I feel is like day & night. Book is in VA & I'll be up there soon & will give you the list; or maybe you can find the book on Amazon; its several years old, so there should be cheap used copies.
