New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

Eight days after my third moderna vaccine, I developed generalized hives. The itching began on my scalp and progressed to many other parts of my body. Took a six day cycle of prednisone, hives went away but have been dealing with dermatographia since then. I am on week 6 and taking Blexten (antihistamine) daily. I have tried to stop taking the medication but the itching quickly returns. I also get the occasional spasm in my chest which also seems to be associated with this type of reaction. I am getting progressively concerned as these symptoms persist.

I’m so sorry this happened to you @natelias2016 . You do the right thing by getting your vaccines, but then you have a reaction. And, of course you’re concerned—this is all new and no one has answers.
Has your primary care doctor sent you to see a specialist?
