I had 4 Xolair shots several years ago for chronic idiopathic urticaria. It was the best treatment for me. I had CIU since I was a teenager together with hereditary angioedema and this was the first and only treatment that helped. I’ve been hive and angioedema ever since. I hope after the full series of shots you find the same results that I have experienced. Good luck.
