I had chronic hives almost every day for 5 months, anaphylactic reactions, tachycardia constantly, angio edema, reacted to antibiotics, random foods, water ect. I was on 2 Pepcid a day, 2 xyzal a day and then started xolair 3 months later no hives, rarely get rashes and itching is rare. I’m still on xolair…also in the beginning of the hives I had severe diarrhea and ended up diagnosed with eosinophilic colitis with colon biopsy treated with prednisone which cleared it up…I am no longer taking antihistamines or h2 meds just xolair…it took so many doctors and researching for myself, being hospitalized and losing 20% of my body weight to be diagnosed and taken seriously…the flares are awful…from colon biopsy diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome due to the amount of mast cells in my colon.I do not know any underlying cause. Allergy tests, rheumatology tests, food elimination none of these brought answers…xolair has made me have little to no symptoms

Thank you for this. I'm glad my allergist put me on the right path. I've received by second dose of xolair, no improvements yet but praying I'll see something soon

Hello from Greece.Thank you for the helpful content!My 16 year - old son was diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria last March but he started having symptoms (milder) about a year ago.Our allergist mentioned a strong correlation between his infection with Covid(twice) followed by three other viral infections and the cholinergic urticaria .Currently he is on antihistamines double the dose of that for adults.We are in the middle of a heatwave right now so it only partially eases the symptoms.Next step recommended by our allergist is biologics(xolair) which I am highly sceptical about.Thanks again for the valuable content!

Love it….Urticariologist!!!!!

Hi Gary here I live Canada and I think I have chronic urticaria until I heard Dr Marcus Maurer say, you don't get swelling of the tongue. I do and in the throat and all over my body welts just confused now don't know what to eat its crazy missing work with swelling in my face lips eyes just waiting for it to go away I had it now for three years . Thank you for every thing your doing

I have had itching for about 20 years. I do not have the hives associated with this. I have wondered for years if I even have it. The itching is torture.

Hi good day, this is interesting but it seems I have a different case. I started on June 23 and I was gonna wait for 2 years. But I was so bad offered Olizumab. I am on my 2nd treatment. , 4 times Fexafendin which does not work. Since my 2nd injection. I have been on steroids for 6 weeks because it doesn't get better but worse. I do not want steroids but I cannot live without them at all. I changed my diet to fasting. My specialist says if my 3rd injection doesn't work then they have to move me to immunosuppression. Pls help next injection this month. No life here

Very interesting! Nobody has mentioned going up to 4 tablets of histamine. I’ve been to a dermatologist, allergist, my rheumatologist(I have RA) I’ve had chronic hives for 4 months. Not one Dr has helped me. I’m seeing a new dermatologist this week. I cannot get any help! Depression, anxiety, frustration is very high! Rheumatologist put me on a different med for lupus. But says not 💯 sure it’s another autoimmune disease yet🤦‍♀️ I’m on steroid and it’s not helping. But not one Dr has helped me! Every time I go in my rash is not there. So I get no treatments. Suffering in silence, my life has been put on hold.

I have RA and suffer from intense itching and pseudo-vitiligo. Would you recommend Methotrexate with folic acid?

To cure this we need to know the root cause, and not taking meds to mask the symptoms

Is the incidents of uticaria increasing around the world?

My daughter is 16 and she has been fighting hives, almost daily since she was three. She was diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria and dermagraphic urticaria. She takes two allergy pills with an antacid every morning and the same every night. She takes benadryl as needed. She used lotions and hydroxicine as needed. It affects her life every single day. She has had to be taken to the ER more than a few times when the "flare ups" are bad. That is when her mouth swells, her feet and hands swell, and the hives are welts big as baseballs over her body. What can be done? What else can we do? She is miserable, and her quality of life is greatly affected by this. She may miss out on getting into early college because of her attendance at school. She is a straight A student but misses school 1 day every week or so. She doesn't know what life is like without hives and being miserable in her skin.

I have idiopathic hives and Angiodema and I have had swelling in my throat. I do not have hereditary Angiodema either. So curious why it’s reported that swelling goes no deeper than the tongue?

If you eat four times the dosage of second stage allergy medication such as Zyrtec or Allegra, what should be the timing? When and how much is optimal? Do you take all four pills at the same time or pace it throughout the day or twice in the morning and twice in the night?

I am taking xolair for last 3 years still suffering with urticaria if anyone can help me what is the best treatment or medication which we can use. But injection gives you 36 days then you are on the same boat.

Hi Sarah, thank you so much for what you share with us and also a heartfelt thank🙏🙏🙏 to dr Marcus for really explain us about this kind of diseases. But want i want to share with you why this csu triggers alots at the time when i wake up at night or sometime when i took a nap all of sudden the rashes started to spread the whole of my body. All my test report is normal. Can you help please

Thank you, I am starting the diet now. Just so unsure cause it just flare up very much. I am not giving up and I hope the diet will help thank you.

Thanks for the info, watching my hives inflammation fade day after day until they completely vanished was such a relief, I went with what I pointed out and within the first 10 days or so the urticaria was barely visible! I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and after 20 days my skin has never been healthier!

I feel like he is only talking about the positive sides of these heavy medication an not about the scary side effects. Xolair isn't the chamomile tea he makes it seem to be.

I have Hashimoto’s and severe urticaria. I live in the US. How do I get those treatments he mentioned?

How could u say that I was diagnosed with Chronic Spontances Hives and Odema. That rude

What is the medication mentioned? Olimesterum? That can’t be it but I can’t figure out because he says fast and with his mild accent….?

Hello I have Hashimoto disease and often get hives and angiodema but was told it’s a side effect of the disease are you saying it’s a separate disease? My Doctor only offers fexofenadine but has warned me I will have more risk of dementia also they don’t work.

Does singular have a positive effect or no effect on uticaria
