TBC, My hands are swollen up like "ham hocks" also so I know how you feel. Little sleep last night because of pain /itching. This stuff "sucks" !!! :mad:...
>montelukast as anti-inflammatory for two weeks also.not to be taken with water cause it is inert when ingested with water so maybe juice or milk.< Where did this come from ? I have searched all over...
Naaaah, I took the lumpy butt name cause that's where i have my hives every morning,but who knows,I might be your wife in disquise. You are lucky the wheals don't hurt. They are very itchy and...
I take Xolair for Chronic Urticariia (hives)The drug is primarily for Asthma. My insurance will not cover it for CU use and it is quite exspensive. My Dr said it is quite effective. Have you tried...
Stay on your antihistimines. I too take a "truck load' of them and every time I try to reduce them,POW right in the kisser here they come again. I tried that "water cure" and drank a ton of it but...
Mandrill, You are lucky that they are only a nuisance. I have had this c--p for over 10 months now and it is very painful and pretty much dominates my life. My daily meds are...

They have not done a biopsy on my wheals (lumps) but a ton of blood tests.(all normal) The last testing went to the Mayo clinic. That is suppose to determine if this is an autoimmune disease in my...
Sorry I haven't been on this forum in awhile. I am on the Chronic Urticaria Society Forum everyday. This is a group of people ,like ourselves, from around the world that have CU. There is a wealth of...

How is everyone doing ? It has been rather slow on this subject. I guess everyone is just enduring. I have been graphing my daily life with Urticaria. (1) being great days and (5) horrible (ie: take...

one positive I forgot to mention. I have hay fever and we are having a very bad pollen season this year in NW Florida. The news programs are covering all the suffering going on in the local area. For...
hives b gone, I don't have menapause. I am one of the few males that have CU I guess. I didn't make that specific. My age(65) doesn't bother me one bit . I wouldn't want to be any younger as the mess...
I sure am glad to find this site ! I have suffered from hives for over 6 months now and have resigned myself to the fact that I will have it for some time. Doctors have been of no help except for the...
