Geri,

Here is a link for hives, it explains alot. Please give Susie my love.

here: AllergyWeb ~ Chronic Urticaria</A>

Also, I didn't know that those of us with depression are not eligible for

liver transplants! Can you send me more info on that if you have it?

Thanks.

Hi,

I posted a message the other morning with an update about Susie and some

questions that I hoped the group could help her with, but I see that for

some reason only part of my posting appeared on the List.

To get back to that: Susie did get everyone's cards and she enjoyed them,

as I'm sure all of you know. I don't have her exact words anymore or I'd

paste them in here. More personal.

She feels as though the treatments are helping her more than any of the

meds she's taken in the past (for depression.) However, she's been having

some rough experiences with intractable giant hives following each

treatment. I'm wondering if anyone else has had negative experiences with

hives? I've had them and both times they didn't seem to be related to meds

I was taking. Instead, they seemed to be indication of my immune system

going wild for no clear reason. Anyone else have experience with severe

hives for no known reason, and if so, any answers from your doctors about

what process might cause this to happen to people with immune system disorders?

Thanks, Geri
