Hives Support Group
Hives is a relatively common form of allergic reaction that causes raised red skin welts. These welts can range in diameter from 5 mm (0.2 inches) or more, itch severely, and often have a pale border. Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance, or an immune response to food or some other allergen. Hives can also be caused by stress.
Like probably most of you.... i have the dreaded chronic idiopathic urticaria. And have been to doctors and they don't kno what is causing my hives and i had an allergy test done a few months ago and am not allergic to anything.....
I can handle the hives. But I can't handle this feeling that I have constantly with this. Tight throat. I have reallllllly bad anxiety over the hives. really bad. I am always afraid that something is going to swell or my tongue is going to swell or my tonsils are going to swell.....and then a few months ago.... I started having this tight throat feeling.
The dr said that she doesn't think its from hives, but its from acid reflux or my anxiety.
I even saw an ENT and they stuck something down my throat to look and saw nothing.
I just don't kno what to do. Im always afraid that my throat is going to close up from hives.

Hi,New to this group (oldtimer on DS).On 9/16 an allergist diagnosed me with idiopathic hives caused by my RA. (Have had RA for about 40 years. I'm on Orencia and Methatrexate. Also have Sjogrens.)I have never had hives before in my life. (I thought they were mosquito bites at first. Couldn't imagine why I was getting bitten cause it wasn't like I was taking walks in the woods.)He put me on...

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Only thing you must take them before a big meal like supper or lunch. Do not take and then skit food, they might upset your stomach. Just the nature of the vitamin.
Take care, I've been there.
I suggest you keep a food diary and track your food intake and find out what triggers your hives. We are all different, so we react differently to different foods.
Yes MerryContrary is spot on with Vit Bs. Vit Bs gives you energy and build up the immune systems. I take loads of Bs by eating cultured probiotic drinks and fermented foods. Cheapest and most accessible way for vitB intake is to culture your own probiotics.
Take care.
