Hives, itching and hands tingling

I have FMS, RLS and CFS...I'm becoming more and more symptomatic these dyas. I've noticed that when I have too much stress..I break out in hives, my eyes get so dry I need eye drops. My skin becomes dry, especially my lips and my hands and arms tingle. It's almost like circulation in my hands are reduced. Easiest way to describe it...my hands feel like my legs do with restless legs...I also have pain in the tips of my fingers. Has anyone else felt this way? Short of reducung my stress...which seems impossible these days...any advice on what I might try??

Hi Bev,

I have had hives for the last year. It's horrible. I have to get to a dermatologist but can't seem to take time out to go. I use gold bond, benadryl spray and use non-scented everything. I'm sorry I can't help but if I find an answer, I'll be sure to let you know.

I also suffer with a terrible runny nose and sneeze all the time. Itchy skin all over is another. My doc put me on 2 different antihistimines as one does not work on it's own. It helps with the itching and stops me sneezing as much and 1 of the antihistimines makes me sleepy as well so it helps with the sleep problem as well. Do you get a cough as well as i have noticed that i have a permant cough now

Flymo,
I also sneeze and cough. I take allergy meds and I don't like them because they give me medicine head during the day when I have to concentrate on work. I suppose I feel better knowing it's not just me...(smile)

I am lucky the 2 that he has put me on do not seem to give me any side effects and i sure know when i have not taken them. My hands and feet also feel cold and it is worse all round when the weather is bad which is unfortunatly most of the time over here, lol, Have you had any blood tests that show you are having a reaction to anything? My GP did a blood test and i think it was my white blood count indicated that i was having a slight allergic reatction to something and i have had severl common allergy tests and no positive result. We have to pay privatly for any allergy testing and could not afford to keep trying to figure it out

Dallas2,
My hands are worse when cold...yes. I take cymbalta which in addition to being an anti depressant...it has been known to help with nerve pain. I've only been on it for three weeks...so the jury is out. I have the weirdest pain in my fingers and feet...like an invisble person in stabbing nails into my skin...and my fingers and hands are stiff and sore. The insides of my fingers hurt most so holding things is a little uncomfortable. Thank God I have a high tolerance to pain...I guess if that's really true...and ordinary person would be sprawled out on the floor screaming for really good drugs...LOL I gotta laugh at it sometimes...or I'll be freaking out all day long. Thank you for contributing to my advice request....Bev~~

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
