I know a few people have asked about this but they all seem to be taking shots from a doctor or what not.  For me, i dont really remember having allergies until a few years ago ( i just turned 20 last week).  I wouldnt say it is too severe but it does bother me.  I get them during the spring season and even today my nose still isnt completely clear however it is very light by now.  I dont take any shots or have consulted with a doctor yet.  I may take claritin sometimes but this season I havent and just coped with it.  

 

  From my understanding it is a disqualifier but it is possible to get a waiver.  Reading other people's posts, it seems some of you advise to not to say you have allergies if it is not on record yet (meaning spoken to a doctor and it is on file).   However, if i decide not to go to a doctor and take shots and leave it blank on paper what wil happen when I get into the air force and i get my allergies?

 

Is it better to go to a doctor, get shots that'll medicate my allergies and get a waiver?  is it easy to get waivers?  please give me some more insight on my situation. thank you.

The shots have made my allergies that were once horrible almost non existant and accourding to the af waiver guide the waiver approval rate for allergies has been over 99%. Although, I have not gotten to the point of getting a waiver yet my advice would be to take in to consideration how bad your allergies are if they are unbarrable I would go to a doctor. If you decide to go to a doctor make sure to go to an allergist not a family doctor. I would also like to know if it is easy to get a waiver.
