In my experience, the process does not involve taking a pill.

Check with your doctor or allergy specialist. When I did it, I had a series of shots over two years (paid for by my insurance) that exposed me to minute amounts of MY personal bane...grass pollen.

Note: The shots did not work very well and I have had MUCH better results with Flonase. That eliminated my hay fever this year. Totally! One squirt in each nostril twice a day did the trick. Try asking your doctor before you break up your beloved family. Mark my words, you'll always hold a resentment against your sweetie for it, no matter how well you hide it or claim it's not there. It *will* be there and can surface during an argument or some other such inappropriate time.
