Hello,

In 2015 I was diagnosed with chronic hives, which is MCAS. I was tested for everything, and nothing was found. I am in good health, except for the hives. I have spent a great deal of money trying many different medications and creams. Nothing worked. In 2017 I finally started getting Xolair shots to block the hives. A shot I am still using each month.

What I can share is some things I have found to help.

Black Seed Oil - smells really bad, but will stop the itching better than any cream, aloe vera, etc. that I tried. This was purchased as a low inflammation supplement but smells so bad I was unable to drink it. So, I thought to put directly on the hives, and it does help a great deal.

Just recently, I have begun taking Quercetin, DAO, Stinging Nettle, & Zinc, and a low histamine diet. I am beginning to feel a difference.

From my research (almost 10 years) I am seeing more and more folks with this issue and all I can get from any Dr. is basically, you just have to live with this.

Welcome, @pmh. Do you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?
