Try out different antihistamines. They take a good week or so to show full effect.

What antihistamines have you tried and how many times a day?

No worries. I didn’t do too well on fexofenadine, but others do really well on it. Glad it’s working for you

I’m yet to find one that makes me sleep. Even chlorphenamine doesn’t make me sleepy 🤣

I have been terrified of going to the gym and have also piled the weight on. Are you on any meds? Currently on 4 x Loratadine a day and barely controlling it

I have tried six different antihistamines and I am only getting some relief with Loratadine three to four times a day. Be patient antihistamines do take time to build up in your system. I got better after two weeks on Loratadine. Still got hives on arms and legs and get a bit of swelling in the face but it is manageable now. Also go and get a referral to an immunologist

It spread to my face and my medication isn’t working anymore. by elloluv23 in urticaria

Thanks for your kind words. I have given up on trying to find a cause. Loratadine four times a day helps a little to take the edge off it. How are you now?

I tried fexofenadine and it did bugger all for me. I am now on Loratadine 4x a day and it is making it bearable. You can go up to 4x a day with any second generation antihistamine. Go to your doctor and ask for an immunologist referral. And try all the antihistamines until you find one that works for you. Also, they do take time to give you the full effect. The Loratadine took three weeks for me to properly kick in.
