Desensitization against allergies: Did it work for you?

[MSEsperanza]

Hi,

AIlergic conditions I think are equally common among pwME/CFS as in the general population.

So I thought it was interesting to find out whether the experiences with desensitization are comparable, too.

An addition to questions 10 & 11: My use of the term 'side-effects' also includes worsening of symptoms, including ME/CFS symptoms.

My answers to the poll are 10) and14).

Will perhaps add later a few lines on my experience.[*]

Thank you for reading, voting and replying.



[*] And also my thoughts why this could be relevant to the discussion on subgroups/ subtypes in ME/CFS.

P.S: Apologies if I don't reply here for maybe a while but at the same time maybe will get some other posts/ questions released from my S4ME drafts-folder.

What is «allergy desensitisation» in this context?

I don't think allergy desensitisation is available where I live (UK). I have multiple allergies, but I just muddle along like everyone else: avoidance when it's possible, antihistamines when it isn't.

I responded on the basis that intolerances are distinct from allergies, so just said ‘I don’t have allergies’.

Although you occasionally see articles about ‘desensitisation’, I have not heard of it routinely happening here in the UK.

I have seasonal allergies. I don't have food intolerances.
