- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Anyone have experience with the shots you can get to mitigate allergies/immunotherapy? I was thinking about getting them to temper my chronic sinusitis, and I don’t want to take Claritin for life.
I took them for a few years in middle/high school, and they worked well for me. If you don’t feel like going to a doctor every week for the shots (and you aren’t too freaked out by needles) you can usually also administer them yourself. My roommate in high school hated needles and shots, so I’d of course make sure to administer the shots while he was in the room.
My spouse administers their own shots for their Chron's disease medication; are the shots pretty much like... the tubular thingies wherein the needle's kinda hidden and all you feel is the prick after pressing a button? Or is it like... the full-on here's-a-fucking-needle-good-luck-chump shot?
It’s been years since I took them, but at the time I used something that looks like the image below. Not a huge needle, and injected into an area with fatty tissue like the thigh or stomach so didn’t really hurt either.
