Allergy shots

It's my understanding that my health insurance will cover a visit to an allergist, but will not cover testing nor the shots. I'm planning to call an allergist tomorrow (my Fall allergies have interfered with my sleep for more than a week straight now, and it feels like a bad cold except that I know it isn't), and I want to be prepared for how much it's going to suck.

I've been using both Claritin and Zyrtec, with occasional Benadryl as well. None of the other OTC allergy medications have ever done much for me. At this point though I also have a cold, and they recommended I take an expectorant and expectorants recommend you stop allergy medication, so maybe it'll help to be off them for a few days.
