I've been trying to get referred for immunotherapy since July when I was carted off to hospital. Highland region don't do it and Grampian (Aberdeen) won't do it for me under the NHS. Doctor today at last admitted that he hadn't a clue about bee venom desensitisation or where to go next, which is why i've heard a lot of excuses and not much else. I've been reading back through the Smimmo thread of 18 months ago where Gavin said he knew someone undergoing it at Ninewells and HJB said he was about to start at Gartnavel. Can either of you confirm this is still possible at these places. Does anyone know of any where else it can be done in Scotland and has anyone had it done privately? I would like to know who would do this and approx cost even if it was a few years ago it would give me an idea. You could pm me if you wanted. Doctor obviously said to give up but I'm not prepared to stop beekeeping so quickly especially as I've made some nice friends through it.
I said I would get back to him, the doctor, with any information I was able to find out here.
Many thanks
