Apparently I’m full of thoughts today. I’m going through a rough patch health-wise. I have chronic urticaria or chronic hives. Nearly every day of my life my entire body, including face, palms of my hands and feet has hives. It’s very difficult to live with. I’ve had every blood test they can think of and while a few things have been abnormal it’s not enough to point to and say “That’s it! That’s why you have hives!” So right now they’re idiopathic meaning no one knows why I have hives. I’m at a last resort so I’m pretty sure I’m going to try Xolair injections. They are once a month injections that should stop the hives. The biggest drawback is that it can cause anaphylaxis, anytime, anywhere. I’ll have to have an epipen with me wherever I go from now on… at least as long as I’m on the injections. I should probably call and start the process as it takes time to get approval from insurance which is just stupid. Send a pic of my face and they should approve then. Talk soon.
