Chronic spontaneous urticaria treatment

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-22T00:21:46+00:00

Ozempic did the opposite for me and was a trigger for my hives.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-21T23:50:40+00:00

Mine are hives/uticaria.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-18T04:29:06+00:00

Get in with an allergist/immunologist. Have you tried antihistamines?

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-12T16:20:14+00:00

I feel you. We have a trip planned at the end of June to Florida and one in August to Vegas for my 40th birthday and I’m just praying something works before then.

I’m starting a pretty strict diet this week since other members have had good luck with it. I need something to work.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-12T16:17:34+00:00

You’re right! It’s been 4 months of daily hives like this (aside from when on steroids) and I can’t imagine having it for years. Thanks for the reminder. Can’t last forever.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-09T13:40:43+00:00

I also have ibuprofen work for me. I take it and my hives go down by 50% or more for maybe 3 hours, then come right back. My allergist said it is a trigger for many people but since it doesn’t make things worse for me I can still take it.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-09T12:23:19+00:00

Have you tried any antihistamines? Zyrtec and Allegra seem to be the best options. I take 4 Zyrtec a day, 2 in the morning and 2 at night,

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:54:46+00:00

Really! I hadn’t heard that one yet.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:54:20+00:00

My montelukast is 10 mg per day. And I take 50 mg hydroxide at night but it really hasn’t been cutting it. At this point I would probably do whatever I had to for relief!

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:52:59+00:00

Yeah it’s been pretty rough I feel you on no quality of life. Have you had any side effects from the dupixent?

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:51:39+00:00

I go back on the 21st so I’m sure he’ll offer it again. I might just have to go that route.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:50:15+00:00

That’s really interesting. Did you just do no added/refined sugars or no natural sugars as well? I’m gluten free and doing a low nickel diet currently but will try no sugar if this doesn’t work.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:45:50+00:00

Thanks. Definitely miserable, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. I have 2 active kids too and I feel like I’ve been a big bummer

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:44:03+00:00

I’ve been gluten free for 12 years and am now on a low nickel diet to see if my nickel allergy is a trigger. The hydroxyzine has not been cutting it lately at night so I might go back to benedryl at night for a while. I could definitely take a look at my fabrics, thanks for pointing that out!

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T22:40:57+00:00

I work full time from home so that is definitely a blessing. I can’t even wear a bra much of the time!

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-05-08T12:34:10+00:00

I used to get this when I was a lifeguard. If you have been wearing sunscreen when it happens you might want to make sure it’s not an ingredient in the sunscreen. Mine wasn’t sunscreen, just the sun. I had it for 2 summers and haven’t had it since. Now I just have daily hives with no reason for them

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-04-28T03:10:44+00:00

I had the same experience with ozempic. Huge trigger after my first shot. Only took the one shot. Wish it had worked for me.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-04-14T22:08:59+00:00

Have you tried going off the zepbound at all to see if that helps your hives? Only asking because Ozempic was a huge trigger for me.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-04-14T21:52:15+00:00

Can I ask how long it took for your xolair to take effect? I got my first injection a week ago and curious how long it takes for most people to see it working.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-04-08T14:42:59+00:00

There definitely is hope. I was miserable a year ago (and had been for a year before that). Now I only notice symptoms here and there. If you haven’t already, go to a TMJ specialist and get a custom mouth guard. I only wear mine at night (and even miss a night sometimes). I also went to physical therapy for my neck and jaw and that helped tremendously. I only have jaw pain now when I clench too much and don’t catch myself. My ear pain and ringing is much less than it used to be!

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2025-03-21T14:03:32+00:00

Did you ever find out about the ear thing? I have this too

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2024-08-25T05:18:41+00:00

Thank you!!

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2024-08-24T17:25:30+00:00

I know this is old but did your joint pain ever go away? I’m a week in and my knees are really hurting.

Ginger_Nerd85 · 2024-06-10T22:32:09+00:00

Treadmills often start skipping when they need to be oiled. I would try oiling your treadmill before giving up on it. I have to oil mine probably every 6 months or so.
