If i got allergy shots for 5 years as a teenager with no benefit whatsoever, is there any hope that if i start again now, they might help?

Yes,: it is possible. You may be allergic to different things now, so immunotherapy treatment (allergy shots) may help you now. It is worth discussing with an allergist.
