I have been on allergy shots for 40 years, and they have been covered except for the co-pay. They have definitely helped for my multi-allergies. I had an anaphylactic type reaction to deer fly bite 3 years ago - hives all over body within 30 minutes of bite and ended up in ER. Even with Deet on, still got bit again this year, but the swelling was only about 50-cent size, and only lasted 3-4 days. Have been on separate allergy shot for that for the past 3 years so both allergist and I were pleased.

I had hoped for a decrease in my IgE antibody level now that I have been GF for 17 months, but that level is still elevated, even though my anti-gliadin IgA is now in the normal range.

Good luck.
