"I began to experience cold urticaria at age 10 and have lived with it for 65 more years. My condition went undiagnosed (or rather misdiagnosed as a food allergy) until I was in my 20s. I experienced several episodes of anaphylactic shock while swimming and was generally miserable all winter long in Chicago's cold, damp weather. I began taking Claritin/loratadine for seasonal allergies approximately 25 years ago, and after about five seasons noticed that while I was on this medication I had absolutely no instances of cold urticaria. I have been taking 10 mg of generic loratadine daily ever since and am finally able to enjoy cold weather, swimming, and cold drinks (without my tongue and lips swelling). I have noticed no side effects from this drug at the levels I use."
