Am having 2nd episode of severe hives after 17 years free. Antihistamines even twice the average daily dose isnt keeping them at bay anymore. Im trying acupuncture and chiropractor to strengthen my nervous and immune system at the moment. I live in Australia and am so glad to have found this support group.
