Tried Zyrtec, Allegra, Pepsid. All a no-go.

Have you tried dexamethasone (aka Decadron)? I have some experience with it for an issue similar (but not the same and not as rare) as yours and it was a game-changer.

Have you tried corticosteroids?

That's always a mixed bag, and if you have other conditions, it may be contraindicated. But if you haven't, I'd at least talk to your doctors about it.
