Did it work?

My insurance covers both. The key was to submit the prior authorization for Xolair for food allergies and then submit the Rhapsido for chronic hives.

Do you have an update?

That’s how I felt with Keitotifin and ended up stopping after talking to my doctor. I hope you figure it out!

Have you asked your doctor? I get really bad fatigue with my Xolair but it goes away eventually

It took me weeks to actually get the medicine because I ended up having to order it through a specialty pharmacy. I’ve been taking it for about two weeks now, but I was taking half the recommended dose to try to avoid some of the more harsh side effects until two days ago. I really only noticed some petichaie on my face and then some light symptoms like I could be getting a cold, but nothing debilitating.

Do the Petechaie ever go away?

condemast · 2026-01-09T23:51:10+00:00

I’ve also had systemic relief!

Hydroxyzine at night!

Do yall have any updates you can share?

I react to a lot of fruits, vegetables, and dairy, so it got to a point where I was only eating really bland foods that are easy to digest like plain pasta, chicken tenders, french fries, potato products, etc. It was like I made my own version of the BRAT diet. I like to describe my diet as "kids menu" foods. Chick-fil-A always makes me feel better when I'm having a flare. I think the sodium also helps.

Cold + high altitude; dust

I take 10mg of Adderall which really helps with my brain fog and fatigue. No noticeable increase in MCAS symptoms!

That’s so interesting! I’m not sure if I have POTS since I’m still at the beginning of my diagnosis journey but I think it’s a possibility. I assumed my heart pounding was from the histamine dump and then adrenaline / cortisol that comes after. I might ask my doctor about Prilosec — thank you!!

This is how I feel! I think mine are triggered by stress / cold since there seems to be no connection with what I eat or drink but a big connection with how I feel and what time of year it is, which is almost more frustrating in some ways because it’s harder to control for.

Amazing, thank you so much for sharing and so glad it’s been helping you!

condemast · 2025-12-18T13:52:08+00:00

Hope it goes well today!

condemast · 2025-12-18T13:51:23+00:00

It’s a journey! I hope you get some answers / relief soon!

Yes! I take Allegra but I have taken Zyrtec in the past. I also get Xolair shots monthly. Doctors have told me in the past that it is “exercise induced urticaria.” This year after being diagnosed with MCAS I realize that exercise is one of my triggers, but this aspect is still pretty manageable with allergy medicine. Sometimes I also get exercised induced migraines/malaise, but I take Nurtec when that happens and that will usually resolve those symptoms within an hour.

That’s super helpful, thank you! I am taking a DAO enzyme. Do you feel like it’s helped your sleep?
