CU and Acupuncture?

I just logged on after not being on the forum for a few weeks, and reading your post has lifted my spirits for sure! I've had it for about a few months as well after taking some antibiotics I never had before and I realize that I would not be cured by taking antihistamines day after day, and my only hope was for it to spontaneously go away, which I wasn't planning on waiting for. I went to a derm and all she could do was prescribe me allegra and atarax (hydroxyzine) and tell me she wants me to see an allergist/immunologist.

I told my mom to ask one of her friends/coworkers (he's an MD who's also from China, who's certified in acupuncture as well, and is affiliated with her nursing home, his name is Dr. Young) about it, this was about a month ago, by which time I was sure I had chronic idiopathic urticaria as well, but the doctors were just baffled. Him, being an MD said he wanted to have me diagnosed before he treated me, not to put his license on the line I guess. Finally I've been diagnosed with it, and I'm going on full blast starting tomorrow trying to get this done and out of my system for good.

I do have a few questions for you if you don't mind, what exactly triggered your urticaria? Was it the heat, food, cold etc? Also, if you don't mind, where are you from? If you're from New York I'd like to know the name of your acupuncturist as they definitely know they're stuff! Also, what types of acupuncture did you have done, was it regular, did it involve acupuncture point bleeding, acupuncture point injections with thiamine or autologous blood, auricular acupuncture (in your ear), or was it a combination of any?
Better yet, if you know the name(s) of the treatment(s) you received that would be more than suffice! Also, how often did you go for treatment?

And lastly, the herbal tea, do you recall the name?

I'm really sorry about the bombardment of questions but you seemed almost like a godsend haha and I haven't received any input from other sources. Thank you so much for your input it really made me feel better, I thought I'd be living with this for the rest of my life, I'm definitely going to get this done, and fast!
