Extreme allergies, help!?

Question

Hello,
I have been dealing with extreme allergies for my whole life. My allergies are so bad that I am unable to leave the house (and even then im suffering very bad), I get an extremely runny noise, teary eyes, itchy eyes, my whole face looks like its swelling up. My allergies only get this bad right at the start of spring and end usually by the time june starts (I guess thats when all the pollen is gone). I have been getting allergie shots for 5 years now, I dont think they have helped me, but im still gonna go and do them anyways just in case they have helped me. No allergy pill helps me at all, I have tried each one of them from my local target for about a week, none of them help what so ever. I also have done those nose pumps where you shoot water up your nose, but the mucus always comes back a minute later. The doctor told me the only thing he can give me is steroids for about a week, but a week is a very short time and i dont like the way steroids make me feel. There is only one thing that has helped me which is cold medicine, but im not sure if its safe to keep taking. The only cold medicine that works is the kind that make you sleepy such as (dimetapp, nightquil, basically anything that is a very strong cold medicine). I usually get sleepy for about a hour after taking these, but that wears off fairly quick, and then for the rest of the day I am allergy free! Is it bad to be taking cold medicine every day? Have you heard of anything else i can try for my allergies?

Thanks

Continue the allergy shots for at least a couple more years.  How close are you to maintenance level?  I did not get the maximum benefit from the shots until I got up to maintenance level.  It took me five years to get to that place, but since your allergies are worse than mine were, it may take you longer.  I was only housebound for 5-6 weeks in late summer when the ragweed pollen was out.  The steroidal nasal spray was the only thing that really helped my allergies.  It does take five days to start working.  I did not have any side effects from it.  Have you tried the nasal spray?  It is only available by prescription.  Beconase AQ and Nasonex work well for me.  You also need to get a good air purifier.
