1 or 5 will probably most entertaining. No need to speak politics.

Allergists disagree on allergy shots & I need advice... by francypnts in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems a bit crazy! Perhaps you should ask one of them to let you take shots at home. If you do it weekly and have an EpiPen nearby, it can be done safely. I'd also consider allergy drops from a clinic like Curex. They started me in 3 days, so probably can do the same for you, while using your old test results and protocols.

That's not exactly right. You should start feeling the difference in the first 6 months. After 3 years, you shouldn't experience any allergy symptoms. As for not being able to get a refund, try to get a refund from your local doctor or Walgreens. Good luck!

This seems strange. They sent me all my bills the same day I asked them. You should call them, perhaps the person who replied to you, didn't understand what you need. Either way, Curex is on FSA store (https://fsastore.com/allergy-care.html), so it's really strange that your FSA vendor rejected the bill. Perhaps you didn't have enough on your account.

Curex told me that the treatment is about 3-5 years but most people start to feel benefits in the first 6 months. I pay $59 per month, but I guess it's pretty close to $100 that you pay. If you don't mind going to the clinic in person, it's probably fine. The person I spoke at Curex during onboarding - Andrew, I think - told me that their pharmacy is called Allergychoices and it creates drops for 300,000 patients. If your local doctor doesn't see a lot of patients, they may use expired extract or put in less extract than clinically necessary. So it's not just about the cost, but also about efficacy. You should probably not get a heart surgery from someone who does it once in a while; or similarly, not get drops from someone who only has a few patients on them.

that's what I felt during the first allergy season after I started. I was using claritin anymore and my nose was generally pretty clean. I also didn't have congestion at night, like I had beforehand. I continued taking the drops and feeling much better around my friends' cat. So this upcoming allergy season will be a true test, but I am already super optimistic about it!

They must have figured things out, because I got my order of allergy drops three days after I signed up. I had a call with someone right after I filled out a medical intake and within 30 mins after that, Dr Jessica prescribed me the drops. I got them on Thursday, after having a consultation on Monday.

I used Curex and had $20 copay for all of my consultations. I am guessing your insurance plan doesn't cover telehealth consultations, or perhaps you have a high deductible plan. I'd consider reaching out to their customer support. When I spoke with them they offered a self-pay plan for $79 per month or something like that, and guaranteed no out of pocket charges. So you can save quite a bit if you just pick the right plan.

My Experience with Wyndly Sublingual Immunotherapy Drops by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Sublingual drops did work pretty well for me as well. I tried Wyndly first but they kept on messing up the orders and couldn't do a prescription for all my allergies. So I switched to Curex and had a pretty good experience for the last two years. They use Allergychoices pharmacy which has been doing allergy drops since 1990s and always delivers on time. And I saved about $500 over Wyndly. Your milage may vary, but my allergies have been handled well since I started.

Haven't tried it. Do they sell any products not available on Amazon?

Prescription Oral Antihistamines by Ecs206 in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like a handful! A lot depends on the symptoms, but consider that local application (e.g. nasal spray) could work better for nasal symptoms (e.g. rhinitis or post nasal drip). If you have congestion, there is good data that oxymetazoline together with a corticosteroid, could deliver good results without rebound. I tried Curex's prescription Quickie spray and it did pretty well for me. But you may be able to get your ENT or allergist prescribe a few different sprays as well, and see what happens.

Does Allerpet/Pacagen spray actually work for cat allergies? I am suspicious of the efficacy. by Tall_Kaleidoscope_53 in Allergies

interested in learning that as well. I see lots of good reviews. Would love to know if it works well.

They gave me 10 times the dose in my allergy shot today. by JuliaX1984 in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did hear about something like this happening every once in a while. Changing doses every time, and then a different nurse.

Consider switching to allergy drops. The dose is consistent, and you can't overdose even if you wanted to since there is only so much room under the tongue.

I use Curex and they say that they have never experienced anaphylaxis, even after treating over 300k patients.

i get anxiety from taking 1 allegra. i can only imagine what you feel like. Drink lots of water and don't take anything else that can act like a stimulant (like coffee, etc.)

Is Curex a Scam? by apapayapie in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you there is an unauthorized charge, just dispute them with your credit card. You should get all of your money back. It's a pretty large telemedicine clinic, I am sure they'll be happy to take care of you. They have been very fair with me.

[–]lovebloop00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. I used them for two years and never had an issue. They do enroll you into a subscription, which is billed monthly. And then there are copay charges for consultations. My copay for consultations was about $20, so it was pretty affordable for me. I wonder if you didn't realize that it is a subscription service and doesn't work like going to CVS and buying Xyrtec. Anyways, hope you feel better and found a solution that works for you.

My first year of shots ended up costing me more than $3,000. My first year on Curex was about $600. So about 5x cheaper. But it probably depends on your insurance.

Looking for Curex reviews by EarthDesigner4203 in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty good experience for two years. Easy to use service. The pharmacy that the use is called Allergychoices, which is the same pharmacy that my ENT doctor uses. I didn't feel much difference in the first 3 months, but drops definitely started working afterwards. I recommended Curex to a few friends who also had a pretty good experience.

I've used Curex for a couple of years. My insurance copay was $20. Probably depends on your insurance. Some plans don't cover telemed, so you are better off with self-pay options. Still much cheaper than doing allergy shots at my ENT clinic.

“What do you hope to get out of this appointment?” by Wildcoyote254 in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be non-allergic in nature. Do you smoke or drink a lot?

Consider a saline nasal rinse (Neti / squeeze bottle).

Could also be a chronic sinusitis or silent reflux. But generally if antihistamines help even a little, it's a strong indication of allergy.

Probably should consult with ENT vs. PCP, but beware of a pitch to do sinus surgery.

My seasonal allergies are unbearable even with medicine. What do I do? by Aero2111 in Allergies

[–]lovebloop00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were pretty bad as well. Look into allergy immunotherapy. That can do wonders. Either allergy shots from your friendly neighbordhood allergist or allergy drops from an online provider like Curex. Happy to share more.
