Q: Urticaria-are Antihistamines Bad For You?

Hey everyone,
just a quick query to anyone out there who suffers from urticaria.
I have been suffering from it for a while know, almost a year...Have been to various doctors, a skin specialist and even tried a homeopath...But with no improvement. I can go a couple of days without taking the tabs, but then the itchyness comes back and I have to continue taking them.
My question is does anyone know of any supplement to take in place of the antihistamines and is it not bad to be continuisly taking the same tabs without any results?
Is there any other medicines out there to combat this and or eradicate it? I have been told so many different things from so many different people that am not sure what to believe.
Any imput would be greatly appreciatted.
Thanks

Re Urticaria......

Since when are you having these urticaria?
Are they worse during any particular weather?
Are the rashes worse during any part of the day?
Is there any rash with itching, redness, swelling, pain etc.?
Is the itching better or worse by cold or warm applications?
Is it worse by any particular foods?
How is your appetite, thirst, urination, bowel movement, perspiration, sleep etc.?
More symptoms would be needed to have more idea about urticaira.
With homeopathic medicine if the remedy is right there should be a significant change i.E decrease in intensity and frequency or urticaria in six weeks.
