Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'm guessing that your hives are more likely from what you ate the day before the morning of your hives. Maybe something you ate late in the evening, or possibly earlier. Other possibilities include allergy to your pillow, bedding, laundry soap, etc. A couple of suggestions: 1. Try to get in to see your doctor today... 2. If you can't see the doctor have someone take a picture of the hives so you can show your doctor later. And 3. If it's medically appropriate for you to do so, take an antihistimine. Also, embrace this as a clue to your rosacea cause. Many of us have misdiagnosed with rosacea because we have allergies.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hello Laurie, I also had the hives after surgery and nothing would get rid of them. My surgeon thought they might have been a reaction to pain medications. They went away just before my 4 month check up. My primary doctor suggested Benedryl and I tried that and it helped with the itching. Check with your doctor before you take anything to be sure it is okay with any medication you are on. Hope this helps. in Oregon 1.5 cm decompressed, C1 and C2 on Nov. 1, 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm about to go crazy here with hives. They thought it was the aldactone they put me on the week before, and so told me to stop taking it. I did, but the hives are getting worse. Now, instead of patches on my forearms, it's one solid red mass, and the itching is constant and unrelenting whereas it had been just every so often. I can't handle anti-histamines, so that's out. Hydrocortisone cream had no effect whatsoever. Any ideas? Anyone else hit this? Regards, Carolyn B. in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Carolyn, Have you tried prednsone? I used it for hives before (on a tapering dose). The doctor waited two weeks until he resorted to it. It worked that time. My itching is in the worst flare I can remember and it has lasted weeks and is keeping me up nights. I've scratched away the skin all over the place. Phenobarbitol (sp) helps some people with itching also. It did knock me out, but did not make my itch go away. The doctor also suggested testosterone, but I wasn't willing to try it (he didn't think it would be ideal for me anyway), but it is used for pruritis. Write me back and let me know what you think. Did you see my latest drama? Protein in my urine! I am so depressed. Take care, Cheryl ID(hives on top of liver itch---you must be certifiable by now!)

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Carolyn, This is the prescription Lidocanine I use, but it only helps open skin for me. It comes with little rectal caps. My dermatologist prescribes it for me. They have to order it in locally, but comes in the next day. They are tubes and come in a box. It really helps those sores heal. Liodocaine HCI 3%, Hydrocortisone Acetate 0.5 cream, Anti-inflammatory Anesthetic, Rx only. 7g Hope you can get this right away, but it doesn't help me all over.
