New Dermatographia: What is helping you?

Hi everyone. I hope you are finding some combination of relief that works for you. After dealing with the hives, itching and Dermatographia for 4 1/2 months I decided to receive Xolair injections. I struggles with the "warnings" associated with the biologic. I took into consideration how miserable I have been for the past 4 1/2 months. I reached out to my PCP. I reached out to the Dermatologist. I reached out to the Allergist. I reached out to family. I reached out to friends.

I received my first dose of Xolair in February. Immediately, I found relief with my scalp. I have not itched my scalp since. I still have Dermatographia, the level of histamine/swelling has been significantly reduced. I receive my second dose next week.

I will share an update in a month...hoping the second dose of Xolair will be my solution. Hang in there, everyone!

@hellopeeps . It sure sounds like the Xolair injections were the right thing for you! Will you be able to administer your own injections?
Tell me about reaching out to family and friends; what did you hope to learn from them?
