Have Hereditary Angioedema. Itching Inspite Of Claritin. Qualify For Disability?

Hi, I have had hereditary angioedema for 10 years now. It lasts for 10 months at a time and the only thing I have been told is that my life expectancy is 55 years old. I am 54. That I am not allergic to anything - yet react like I am to everything. I carry an Epi pen. If I have an episode I take Benedryl which puts me to sleep. As a teacher this is not good. I itch all the time regardless of Claritin. Can I qualify for disability?
