Suggest Treatment For Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria

I have been dealing with chronic idiopathic urticaria. Never goes away. Prednisone and Benadryl are the only things that seem to work for me but I cant get prednisone. Benadryl makes me tired and hard to function at work with fatigue. I don t know what has caused this other than a tick bite 5 or 6 years ago but Lyme test and Alpha Gal comes back negative. Seem to be short of breath walking especially uphill. Taking Singulair. Sometimes have chills and hives usually on legs back shoulders hands sometimes on my face. Different everyday. What is this will it ever go away.
