I'm still battling these hives. *sigh* I've been researching Candida and Hives and I'm about to start the diet/supplements. Has anyone else been on the Candida diet for their hives? Did it work? How...
Hi ShaneA, It could very well be the hair products you are using. Sodium laureth sulfate is an ingredient found in most shampoo's and conditioners and can be quite a common cause of allergies. You...
I discovered the hives I had every single day for the last 4 months were due to the HRT patch. I've had no hives at all for almost a week now but every day my face still feels itchy and slightly...
Hi Razzle I'm already taking B12 and Zinc but I'll search out the rest of the supplements you suggested. Thanks. I know I should give my body a chance to 'heal'. It's had 4 months of an 'allergic'...
Hi, It's been awhile since I've visited HW but I wanted to post some information which may be helpful to others suffering from hives. I've had severe hives and angioedema (have Epipen) for four...
Thank you for your informative post babybish. I've been taking Probiotics for over a month now. There has been some slight improvement but I'm still swelling and itchy....
Thanks for your replies. I did see my GP and he said my airways were fine and he couldn't hear any wheezing. He seems to think I've caught a virus which is causing the shortness of breath which I...
For the last two days I've had shortness of breath which has been really scary! I had this problem a month ago too but it only lasted a day. It started one morning when I woke up and felt my face,...
Update: Well, there has been some noticeable improvement in the hives since seeing the Naturopath. In fact last week I even went 5 whole days IN A ROW without a bad hive (just itchy burning ears)....
I'm so pleased for you that you now have a name for your particular hives. I hope you find the answer (cure) and please let us know how you are. PS What is different about the hives you have? Do they...
My naturopath gave me Colozone to try. PS I've had no bad hives or angioedema for 4 straight days now. My ear is red and sore but this is still a huge improvement from the huge burning hives and...
I'm so sorry you have been experiencing hives :( If they last longer than 6 weeks then they will out you in the category 'Chronic Hives' and it's a long and frustrating road to find a 'cure'. There...
Oh forgot to add that I have also been suffering with reflux since having these hives. Maybe there is a connection, it's not that uncommon for people with hives to also have reflux. maybe it has to...
Good luck with the enema! Perhaps a colonic cleanser might help? Anyway, keep us posted :)...
Thank you for your post Vitalise. It's SO inspiring to others who have this awful condition. Funnily enough, this morning, I bought Organic Yogurt (with live bacteria) this morning and planned to...
I just wanted to add I noticed you said you have also had diarrhea. I'm wondering if you have picked up a parasite/worms? It's worth looking into as a possibility....
Hi Benson :) I have also had hives on the bottom of my feet which feels like I'm walking on a cushion of water and my hands have swollen so much I can't even hold a pen .. so uncomfortable! I've...
Hi Benson, yes it does sound like hives/angioedema. I'm on a very low allergy diet consisting of organic rice, free range chicken, peeled fresh pears, celery, parsley and a bit of carrot. Yes very...
Hi Alaina :smile: I totally understand when you say you can live with your other physical problems but you won't accept having to live with hives for the rest of your life. I feel the same. I can...
If your thyroid anti-bodies are high then seeing a specialist may help. I've read that having thyroid problems can cause hives. I don't know what has caused my hives - thyroid, viral infection,...
Thanks razzle :) I know Urticaria has different causes and therefore different 'cures' but I just wanted to offer encouragement to those who may be thinking of trying a Naturopath. Another hive free...
I'm sorry you feel so unsafe. I know how you are feeling because I've been been there the last few months with angioedema and literally having my epipen beside me at all times. I've also felt short...
Update: No hives or angioedema today either. ZI still have itchy skin but I believe that will go too. I even tried a little bit of dairy/gluten free white chocolate last night. Things are definitely...
I read your posts feeling so much for you both! I've been where you are. Many years ago I had a Thyroid operation and for a number of years after I would feel as though I had a lump in my throat all...
Hi, I've posted in the forum before about the Chronic Hives and Angioedema I've had for the last few months. I just thought I'd post that I'm having some success with Naturopathy and Homeopathic...
Hi razzle, thanks for your reply :) I have been taking Zantac with the anti-histamines - hasn't really done anything to stop the hives....
I've given up on doctors helping me with Chronic Hives and Angioedema so I had an appointment with a Naturopath/Homeopath today who took a drop of blood and looked at it under a microscope. This...
Hi Zizi :) Thank you so much for your suggestions. I have had blood tests done - everything normal including thyroid. I bought Xyzal yesterday .. no improvement as yet. I had a very swollen lip and...
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I came across the forum while researching Chronic Hives and angioedema. I've been to 4 different doctors in the last 2 months and they have not been of any help. I've had...
I've been suffering hives now for 2 months EVERY single day. At the moment my fingers have swelled to the point where it;s difficult to type.... and I'm due at work in a few hours .. I'm a typist....
Hi, I've just joined this thread and wanted to let you all know how much I really feel for you all. I've only had Chronic Hives for 2 months now and even during this relatively short time I've...
