Another itchy dog posting, need help

I am out of ideas, I have a 5 yr old lab that developed allergies about a year ago. We had him allergy tested and started the allergy shots about 2 months ago. This was after he chewed all the hair off his legs and irritated his skin. We have done rounds of antibiotics to get the infection cleared up. We tried 3 types of itch medicines and found one that worked for a while. The hair grew back and things were looking good. The medicine quit working, the allergy shots don't appear to be helping any, now he is back scratching his eye and irritating them, chewing the hair off his legs, scratching till he is out of breath. We have been giving medicated baths every other day. Prior to the allergy testing we tried different foods, grain free to rule out gluten, we tried coconut oil in the food, we made sure we washed his bedding in plain hot water, he is an inside dog so we know it wasn't a heat related flair up. I've spent about $2000 in the last couple of months and I'm not seeing any real improvement. Steroids are the only thing that helps, which are not good long term, and causes him to have to go to the bathroom frequently so he can't make it till I get home from work, before going on the floor (tile floor so cleanup is easy). The vet is running out of ideas too, without taking more extreme measures, which I cannot afford at this point. We tried benadryl and other allergy medicines and no change. Any ideas.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
