I have a man in 40's, had this type urticaria >15 yrs, not known what the
precip. factors are.
Was advised by St John's H for Skin,London several yrs back to treat with
steroids orally, every time.
He gets acutely depressed from prednisolone and thus declines this advice.
I've given him an Epi-pen and so far he's not had to use it, but struggles
on with [ineffective] anti-hists.
