Wow that is really good to hear. I am on immunotherapy for a different type of allergy and can't stop talking about its effectiveness. It has been life changing.

I did a whole immunization against dust mites and I feel like it didn't work at all. q.q

I've been wondering if there's something else causing me to be allergic to them, like something I eat or so, idk. But I'll have to get tested again

I do a skin prick test every year and make sure I update allergens. It takes about 6 months to see the results and whole treatment could take upto 3-5 years. I took a break from the treatment during covid and the allergies came back. So it is important to get monthly shots.
As a child I was diagnosed with a dust mite allergy too, but much later found out I’m actually allergic to certain pollen and cats.
