Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have had Samters since 1976. Asthma has always been my biggest problem. I've been lucky and have had only one sinus surgery in 1989. I caught a bad cold in January and took another round of prednisone and antibiotics. While tapering off the prednisone I was desensitized to aspirin. I immediately had improvement in breathing, much less runny nose, I could smell again, and my voice even improved. Everything was going great guns until the prednisone was completely gone. Now I have hives all over... ankles, legs, hands, feet, face, neck. I used to have them occasionally on my feet and ankles but never this bad. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I was thrilled with the desenstization, but now this! I'm currently taking Advair 500/50, Singulair 10mg/day, loratidine 10mg 3x a day, fluticasone nasal spray 2x a day and have started back up on 60mg of pred. These are all the same meds I was taking previously to desensitization so I doubt it is a drug reaction. I'vr used cortisone creams on my feet and ankles in the past but I can't do my whole body! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
