Chronic hive sufferer whose hives get worse w nsaids. i need aspirin for variety of reasons. dr wants to desensitize me, now that i'm on xyzal (levocetirizine). safe?

Aspirin: If your doctor is experienced in Aspirin desensitization, you will be in good hands, ask your doctor how many he has done. There are protocols to follow. Not all allergists do this in the office.
