Lab tests and diet trials are always a good idea. Usually dermatologists and allergists sometimes involved. Have you had bloodwork for allergies and autoimmune tests? Did you try special diets and have medications been
ruled out. Cause is found in a lesser percentage of patients.
Anti thyroid antibodies are part of the search. Do you have asthma or atopic
conditions that would qualify you for Dupixent?

Thank you for the info. Lab tests for?

I see my allergist every six months for the uticaria. The dermatologist is who took a biopsy and diagnosed the chronic uticaria.

Lab work now doesn’t work to test for allergies because of the Xolair injections and what it does to my immune system

I am really looking to see if anyone has found something that helps the itch, beyond prednisone, allegra and zyrtec and ice packs.
