Chronic hives (uticaria)
I came down with chronic hives in 2018 at age 65. Take maximum Xolair injections monthly. Take 5 mg prednisone to help with itch, and sometimes it has to be daily, and daily Allegra. Has anyone found something that actually helps with the itch or control of the hives?
The prednisone, if I take daily, does keep the hives from getting out of control, and even though the dose is low I sure would like to not take it. Thank you

Hi, I suffered from Chronic Urticaria for 8 plus years. I was taking Synthroid and Loratadine for a year. I continue to take Synthroid and have not had any issues for about 15 years. 2 weeks ago the hives came back and they are unbearable. Then they just disappear….I don’t know what to do!!
Oh, no! They are so miserable. Back to the allergist or dermatologist? Ice packs calm the itch.
