So I am late to the party but have you heard of Hashimoto's Disease? I'm not a doctor but your experience sounds slightly similar to mine.
I had chronic Urticaria and Angioedema for about 4 months before being diagnosed with Hashimoto's. My doctor originally thought I was allergic to something so I ended up at going to an Allergist. I never got the allergy test done (all those shots) instead I got some blood drawn. My allergist found antibodies associated to an autoimmune thyroid disease in my blood which a pretty clear link to chronic hives and angioedema. I then got into an endocrinologist and got put on thyroid meds and now my hives are gone! It was like a miracle, I woke up one morning and the hives were gone.
Also have you noticed any triggers to the angioedema? I found out that taking naproxen or ibuprofen would trigger it and so now I stay far away from those pain killers.
