Yes, my shots have all been in the arm. I was getting them twice a week at first (you only have to go once a week but I wanted to see results sooner), now I go once a month. I do see an allergist for them, not my PCP. At my allergist I don’t have to schedule the shot times, just show up when their shot clinic is open (until 30 minutes prior to the office closing) then stay for 30 minutes to make sure no anaphylactic reaction.

I still taken Zyrtec daily, but my allergist says I can stop except for the days I get my shots. It’s so cheap I don’t mind. I have mometasone nose spray, it’s a steroid like Flonase, just a different ingredient. I only use that occasionally for a couple weeks if I notice there’s something in the air that’s making my nose itch (before I would have been congested and sneezy and miserable). He proscribe another nose spray that I don’t need or take any more. I’m also on Cingular, which I suspect he’ll stop this summer.

I used to live off Allegra, Flonase, and Sudafed and still be miserable. This is way, way better, I should have done allergy shots 10 years ago.
