I’m very frustrated. Thursday, March 18th 2021, an urgent care clinic told me to go to a local hospital. The urgent care- was not able to help with the my Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria flare up.

Local hospital- Nurse practitioner did not know what to do and just checked my basic vitals.

Male medical doctor- Verified my vitals. I was asked multiple times if I fell, hit my leg or was hurt by someone. [emoji849] Me: “No, it’s called Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. This just happens to be the worst flare up I’ve ever had.”

Female medical doctor- Had a little knowledge. She was aware that dexamethasone, prednisone and triamcinolone would not help at all. The first two would only cause weight gain. She failed to know that also offering to give me hydroxyzine (which I do take for emergency [emoji599] flare ups) would be a horrible idea being that I was at the hospital alone. Hydroxyzine- is a antihistamine generation one sedative. [emoji52]

Being recommended and prescribing a medication (Doxepin) with possible side effects of: thoughts about suicide or dying
* attempts to commit suicide
* new or worsened symptoms of anxiety
* feeling very agitated or restless
* panic attacks
* trouble sleeping (insomnia)
* new or worsened irritability
* acting aggressive, angry, or violent
* acting on dangerous impulses
* an extreme increase in activity and talking (mania)
* other unusual changes in your behavior or mood

Xolair - Been offered this by multiple immunologist and it has too many “possible” side effects that could make other autoimmune diseases I have worse. Hair loss and increased pain. I also have Fibromyalgia and Alopecia. I don’t need the possibility of more hair loss or more pain.

Me: I decline Xolair and Doxepin prescription
