Urticaria
"I&#039;m getting my first Xolair shot today.  Currently I am covered in hives from head to toe, itching severely.  My last hive out break was in June 2016 and they went away after 6 weeks on their own.   I&#039;m unresponsive to all the medication, prednisone, zyrtec, ranitidine, singular, gabapentin (for itching) hydroxyzine, Benadryl.   I take them all when I have a flare up.   I&#039;m absolutely miserable and call my allergy specialist daily.  This current flare up has been going for a few days and I had some xolair waiting for me in the office since June.  I&#039;m excited that this may be the cure that I need to prevent this misery.   Will keep you posted."
