Many years ago I always though I was getting a spring cold about mid May and lived with it and in three or four weeks it would be gone. Then one Memorial Day weekend I went to Bowling Green KY for a big drag race and I about died. I was okay when in the hotel room but as soon as I walked out the door my noise was like a fire hydrant and I could use up a bed sheet for a hankie. When I got back home I went to an allergy doctor and in seconds he said I had an allergy to grass pollen. He gave me a 10cc Kenalog shot and in three days it was like I never had a problem. The shot was to last through the grass growing season.
The next year when the symptoms started I was back at the doctor for another shot and I was good for another year. This lasted for a number of years and then it got to the point that I no longer had a problem in the spring and I no longer get the shot. Sure I may sneeze when cutting the grass in the seeding season but nothing to even go out and by over the counter meds for.
The 10cc Kenalog did the trick for me.
