17. I use to go to ER once or twice a year for hives.

Then my horse doctor(vet) told me he had the same problem and hated to use an Epi pen as you still need to go to the ER. He told me to ask my doc for a script for Diphenhydr AMINE injectable. It's injectable benadryl. Very easy to inject with a tiny needle in the hip. Has worked great for me and I haven't been to the ER in over 8 years. I take about .25ml, wait an hour and if not improved, do another .25ml.
You might ask your doc about it and he can have the nurse show you how. A friend of mine was very allergic to bee stings and always ended up in ER. She got a script for it and got stung by a hornet last year and it was the first time in her life she didn't have to go to the ER.

Best of luck.
