How Can Urticarial Hives Be Treated?

I have been dx with urticarial hives, my eyes swell, I have a rash around my eyes with small welts, they itch severely, I am taking several allergy meds throughout the day and before I go to bed, nothing is working. This began shortly afterward after having surgery for kidney stones and removal of all 4 of my parathyroid hormones in 2010. I ve done immunotherapy, getting 3 shots a week for 4 years. I see an allergist, endocrinologist and primary care, no one seems to be able to figure this out.
