Urticaria
"I have had chronic hives/urticaria since 11/30/16. I have gone to the ER 6 times with my throat closing. 
My meds: 
AM 
10 mg prednisone - 20 mg if a flare
Claritin
Zantac 150g
Allegra 
PM
Claritin

Benadryl and hydroxyine as needed. 

I started Xolair in June, Just had my 4th shot last Tuesday. Things are getting better, but if I don&#039;t take the prednisone, it flares up. 
I need to get off of this prednisone now! I have gained 50 lbs since November 2016!"
