Urticaria
"I&#039;ve had hives off and on since 2002. I am 52 years old and I&#039;ve been diagnosed with Hashimotos and Lupus. I was tired of hive breakouts and constantly taking benedryl. So I decided to start taking xolair. Within a half hour after shot my hands got red and itchy. I told nurse. She seemed unconcerned. Got very tired went home and slept half a day! That night got three hives on leg and arm. Next morning I was achy all over and got dizzy with a headache. I report I also got some chest heaviness. I called doctors and he said it was not from xolair. I can stop benedryl but wants me to continue shots. So far I can&#039;t stop benedryl because Im still itchy! I don&#039;t know if I should get next dose because I don&#039;t want worse side effects.Want to eat again"
