long time sufferer

I have had allergies for years and am now 73 years old. I moved to a rural area about 25 years ago and things started going down hill. I am allergic to nearly all airbourn pollens, dust, dander, and a number of foods. I have taken shots and every brand of antihistamine until a specialist said all of these were probably doing more harm than good. He left me on Nasacort, Singular, Alvesco and Bepreve eye drops. I also use a netti pot twice a day and wash my hair and body when I come in from outside. My worst symptom is extreme ithcing all over my body and face. The dermatologist prescribed cortizone cream and I use over the counter creams as well. Cortisone shots used to help but are losing their effectiveness. I read on another site about a lasar accupunture treatment which was relieving symptoms but can't seem to find anymore about it. Can anyone help me?
