Chronic Hives -Frustration with Doctors

[Liberalynn]

2. That is good that the shots took yours away.

A friend of mine says she's had recurrent hives since she was a child and they never found the cause. She is lucky though in that hers don't itch. Mine itch terrible and I practically have to bathe in Sarna to get them to stop.

I haven't had any new meds or shots. The meds I take for my blood pressure, cholesterol, anxiety/depression are all ones I have been on for years without a problem. Maybe the pharmaceutical company changed something in them but my pharmacy is very good about telling me about things like that. The strange thing is that the med I am on for anxiety actually doubles as an antihistamine. The psychiatrist after talking to the allergist agreed to increase my dose in response to the hives but it's not helping at all.
