I have always had really bad allergies to cats but I love them so much so it is really hard to have allergies. I am a wreck if I am in a house that has/had a cat(s).
I heard that there is treatment with allergy shots over a 3 year period but there are no guarantees that it will work and it would cost me about $ 1200 in total to do.
Do you think it is worth it? How high is the success rate?

Sunflower oil, cocoa butter, aloe, shea butter, olive oil, rosewater, and other natural oils are going to be better on baby’s skin than harsh creams and treatments. Make sure the products also have no synthetic fragrances. Zinc oxide is also a natural treatment option for a baby allergy of the skin as it forms a natural urine barrier to protect the skin from wet diapers.If you have done all you can to treat the baby allergy then it’s time to see a doctor. While parents often prefer to use natural ingredients and avoid harsh medications and other treatments, it is also important that a child be treated properly especially in the case of a severe allergy. Failure to see a doctor and get medical intervention in severe cases can result in tragedy. So use all the natural treatment options you can for your own baby allergy but don’t rule out bringing your precious baby to the doctor as well.If your allergies have been severe enough, you’ve probably tried antihistamines, as well as other drugs and perhaps even gotten allergy shots. In very severe cases, maybe you’ve even used steroids. Using allergy shots to desensitize you can work as well, but it might take years to actually see results and have your allergy symptoms lessen or disappear.Hyposensitization is one of the treatments for allergies panic attacks. This procedure is aimed more at curing the allergy and the panic attacks are cured automatically. People who are susceptible to specific allergens are injected with gradually increasing doses of that allergen. This allows their immune system to build up a milder role towards the allergen. When the allergen enters the system the immune system tries to combat it by mistake and the unwanted increase in the activity of the immune cells of the body results in the symptoms of allergy. Allergies panic attacks treatments expose the immune system to the allergen in small but increasing quantities so that the immune system eventually realizes that there is no harm coming to the body through the allergen. Eventually, the allergens do not mobilize the immune system and the patient is cured of allergies panic attacks. The allergen causing allergies panic attacks is taken either through injection or sublingually.Many kinds of holistic therapy systems like Acupuncture, Acutouch, Pranayama, Yoga and Rolfing help deal with allergies and their resulting symptoms. Many of these systems come with strict dietary guidelines that help eliminate allergy caused by food. Holistic healing systems also come with a system of herbal medication and exercises that help strengthen the body’s immune system.
