Re: Sweat/physical activity hives

[Guest guest]

Ann, Alena has been on the z/z in the am and atarax at bedtime for almost a

year and we couldn't live without it. Love, ~Alena's Mom PS from my

limited understanding Atarax is the " parent " of Zyrtec. So if you take

Atarax you are getting the zyrtec as a bonus so to speak somewhere in the

process.

Hi ,

Thanks for that bit of information ! I'll have to try it. Today has been

the best day so far for quite some time. Maybe the drugs are starting to

work again, I sure hope so !

Like I said I've been away from the group for a while, how is Alena? I saw

something yesterday about her 3rd biopsy?? You can e-mail me directly on my

other e-mail address, I would love to hear how she is doing. My other

e-mail address is anney@..., take care, Ann
