For Urticaria "I have chronic idiopathic urticaria, may have an autoimmune component. It started 4 months ago after multiple days of bites by oak mites and maybe a spider or two. I'm on 3 x 180 mg Allegra and 300 mg Zantac in the morning, plus 3 x 10 mg Zyrtec and 300 mg Zantac at night. Plus, miscellaneous Benadryl here and there. Hives went away for a few weeks, and now they are back. Can't afford Xolair. Not sure what's next. This is craziness. Might have to research 'Vitamin D deficiency in chronic idiopathic urticaria.'"

For Urticaria "I have suffered from cold hives for about 10 years now, and till this day, I have not found a solution. Allegra does nothing for me. I take about two Allegra every time I step out of my house and still get hives all over my face and body. That's more than the recommended dosage for 180 mg. I still have hope that there's a cure somewhere out there."

For Urticaria "I’m 54, have been suffering with chronic hives since I was 9 (1979). I’ve had tests done and biopsies done and nothing. Chemotherapy was supposed to knock it out and did for a while but came back. Benadryl did not help at all. I heard about Allegra and tried it. Within an hour, I felt so much better but had breakthrough hives. I also suffer from anaphylaxis shock. If they get on my lip, I assure you, it’s headed towards my throat. I got one on my lip after I had taken Allegra, but it quickly went away. So very thankful for this medication. I’m also required to carry an EpiPen in case of emergencies."
