Still no idea...

Went to the doctor this morning. They couldn't at that time figure out what the issue is that's causing my hives. But she did give me a script for some steroids since the Claritin doesn't seem to be as working quite as well as it did last time. Then once the hives are all gone then I'll go back and they'll do blood tests to figure out what it might be. *sigh* I want to know what it is!! :-( Grr...

Hives? Okay, that is something I know something of, considering I've been trough numerous treatments that didn't work with them and my allergies. I totally feel for you. Stress of course will make them continue any amount of stress. But taking stress away is easier said then done, sometimes you may not even know its there. So what helped me? Jewelweed. Its an over the counter herb you can find mixed with other herbs. You know what also helps is eating Papaya. Yup, seriously go get some and it will help, Papaya's contain natural histamines that work better and faster than any provided and there are of course no bad side effects.

Hope this will help you maybe, cause I soo totally understand what its like to have them and not be able to get rid of them.

Later, Rory

Thanks for the tips! I may have to look into that. They've only been around since Saturday night, so it's not too bad, yet. Just frustrating.

Your welcome, and since it hasn't been around for a while, I really suggest the papaya, its quick and easy and actually leaves the histamine in your body to prevent the future ones.

Hope it gets better, Rory

Yes, I get hives under extreme stress. Consider that you've just closed on a house, moving, you're dissatisfied with your job...that's a lot of stress, and if you're already allergy-prone (like me) it doesn't take much. I've got a topical creme for my hives & eczema, and between that and antihistamines it's all pretty well in check. Hang in there.

(and double-check your soap & shampoo! it's crazy the small things that cause such horrible problems!)

wish I could make it go all away but as I know nothing about such things, I am useless. If they know what caused this last time, doesn't that help in understanding the cause this time? steriods...hope they work and quick so you can get off them. they gave me steroids once for my migraines, they worked really well. But then they told me I couldn't keep taking them because they were bad. Bitches. hope it goes well for you and soon.

No, we don't know what caused it last time, either. It just came out of the blue both times. Which is odd. And why I'm leaning toward a food allergy that I've developed cos I can't think of anything else it could possibly be...
