Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Hi !! Always have acid reflux with hives, as well as stomach pain and diarrhea. Sometimes I get bruising (black & blue) after hives and swelling, and a few times I've had flushing, mostly in the face/neck.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Jackie, I am trying to piece together something going on with Alena. Could I ask a personal question? Have you ever been tested for mastocytosis? Or was it ever considered by any of your doctors over the years? Or could they contribute those symptoms to something else completely?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 , I haven't been tested for masto, it's never been brought up by any of my doctors. Never even heard of it until I joined this group, in fact. As for the gastro symptoms, about half the doctors I've seen have said it's from internal hives, the other half say it's not related to the CU and don't address that problem (those are the doctors I ditch in a hurry!). The bruising I never brought up, just always assumed it was from either scratching or swelling. My flushing is due to cholinergic urt, so I was told. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 I do have acid reflux---at night if I eat too late. I have occasional intestinal/stomach pain.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Yeah, it was tough, but somebody had to do it, camping that is ) Got my mama to come over one night and make chicken cacitori. Man was it good ) The brown spots can last for a couple of months but usually 3 to 4 weeks, some go through the bruising process changing color and some don't. The bruise color is never blue...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 , The only thing I ever had on your list is stomach pains. I still get them but not bad. Recently had pains on my right side in back and sometimes in stomach, but mostly back. It was determined to be constipation because nothing else showed up on tests. This was a pleasant side effect of antihistamines. When I was a kid, teenager, early twenties, I had stomach aches on and off. Never really found a cause, always thought it was indigestion or something. One time I had a severe stomachache, which I never found a cause for. > Hi All, I have a couple of questions~ > > How many of you hivers also have acid reflux? > > How many have stomach pain? > > How many of you get hives and are left with brown marks that may look kinda like a fawn colored bruise? > > How many of you get hives and are left with raspberry/deep red squashed spider looking marks? > > How many of you flush?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hi , I have acid reflux extremely bad, so I take the Zantac twice a day (not just for the hives). I don't have stomach pain as much as intestinal pain and instant dirreaha. Some days my hives leave yellow stains to my skin and other there are purple bruises. My hives flush every where (bright red and extremely hot- hotter than 105 degrees). The skin is then very sensitive to touch. On days like that I don't want anyone touching me. Bobbie.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Gee - this sounds like a good use for the Polls feature in this group. Here are my answers anyway. How many of you hivers also have acid reflux? Yes - it goes along with my spastic acholasia (esophagus closes shut). How many have stomach pain? No. How many of you get hives and are left with brown marks that may look kinda like a fawn colored bruise? Marks are left when I get bad ones at my waist line - kind of like severe sunburn. The skin peels too. How many of you get hives and are left with raspberry/deep red squashed spider looking marks? No. How many of you flush? If you do is your entire body involved or is it localized? I flush dreadfully if I drink wine. I don't think it is related to the hives. I have some more questions - like what are our ages? I'm 51. How many of us are overweight? I am. How many of us had mono (to follow on another thread)? I had it in college. Someone else asked if we had been teachers? Yes - though only a couple of years. Is anyone compiling these answers?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi....answers (and I doubt anyone's compiling) I get red/brown spots like freckles where I have had hives, and this has rendered me like a spotted hyena. I hate it. I have acid reflux. I am also overweight. I have never had mono...I HAVE had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and they are finding some residual autoimmune issues with that...and the urticaria is definitely an autoimmune kind of " dysfunction/symptom " Most of my hives are related to yellow dye #5, any yeasts (which is why wine is so bad -breads etc), wheat, peanuts (probably molds/yeasts), corn, soy and potatoes (white) .. However, I still get them at night and I think its low blood sugar or something. They are really debilitating!!! Mine started to be severe after about 3 years on Prozac and I can't take any of the antidepressants because they predispose me to such hives. Don't flush all over except sometimes. Blessings all....this group has been so helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
