urticaria
"I have had chronic hives every day all over my body since 1982.  I went to many doctors and had all kinds of tests and no one could find out why.  I researched the internet a few times a year to see if there was any new research done that would prove to be helpful.  Last year I read about  Xolair  After a long discussion with my doctor, we decided to try Xolair injections.  On the day of my first injection, I had a swollen hive 4" by 6" on my back that was very painful. After the shot, it started to shrink and I haven't had one single hive since then.  I am thrilled.  No side effects.  My health insurance covers almost all of the cost.  I am so thankful to finally be relieved of so many years of suffering!"
