I have a ton of allergies, antihistamines don’t work for me at all, so I asked my doctor to prescribe me actual medicine, she said that the antihistamines is all there is, with immunotherapy showing very little success rates and only fitting better for specific allergens.
I am shocked – it’s the 21st century, why can’t we cure allergies? Or at least have a medicine that would completely remove the symptoms?

We just don’t currently have the technology to turn off the part of our immune system that overreacts to every little thing. All you can do is try and prevent it by wearing a mask, or just take antihistamines. They only lessen the effects, but you can’t really ‘turn off’ your immune system without making yourself immunocompromised and then you really get sick with something *bad*.
The equivalent of finding a spider in your house and burning the entire house down essentially.
