Managing your condition can begin with one conversation

Not an actual CSU patient or health care provider.

Make your next appointment count

Explore important topics to cover as well as simple, effective tools to help you describe your symptoms, ask the right questions, and feel more prepared when it’s time to meet with your health care provider.

When symptoms first start

Getting diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) or symptomatic dermographism (SD) can take time, but these tips can help you communicate clearly and get answers sooner.

Medication record icon.
Bring a full medication record
 

Include the names, doses, and how long you’ve been taking each medication, including antihistamines.

Advocate icon.
Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself
 

It’s okay to advocate for yourself and let your health care provider know you want another treatment option. When it’s clear that antihistamines aren’t working well enough alone, ask about RHAPSIDO® (remibrutinib).
