Hives

Hiya lelin, Seems from the little bits I have read that the real causes are hardly ever found right away and the rashes can change quickly their form and way of being too. They reckon if you come out in an attack of Hives a really bad one to take a photo of it if you can so that they can diagnose it better. That´s not my suggestion it´s somebodies comment I have read somewhere. I have seen a full blown attack of Hives and it seems pretty tough to go through that. The Histamine can be released into the Blood Stream for any unknown reason really. I have never had a rash like that but I did get a huge welt under the strap of my wristwatch which was dyed leather and when I got rid of the Strap it vanished as quick as it came. Hope she gets better soon. Could it be the leather Strap on her Postal Bag? I know it sounds silly but maybe it might have a dye that could cause it. Just thought of that because of the reaction I had with the dyed leather strap on the Watch.

That is odd that they can't diagnose it. I'm sure they have given her an allergy test right? Hives are often a sign of an allergy. I'm sure that she knows that having been to so many doctors but sometimes they don't so allergy tests unless they are specialists. I hope she at least finds out what it is. I bet that's one of the worst parts.

This is the result of her body reacting to something. It may be from the outside or something she eats or drinks. The best thing to do is eliminate everything except the most mild food. Then slowly bring things back into her diet. Also look aaround the home for mold, mildew, animal hair, dust. There are other things that cause an allergic reaction. I was allaergic to sunshine for many years, just 10 mins in the sun would break me out in hives. I finally out grew it. Good Luck finding the cause.

I am so sorry for your sister as a friend of mine had it and she could hardly bear the intense pain. I believe it is manifested from an allergy. But the problem is to find the allergen that is affecting her. I do hope that she is quickly helped. Is there no treatment at all? My friend had it about 30 years ago. Surely something has been done re treatment since then?

I was simply wondering if it is possible she is allergic to the laundry detergent. My boyfriend gets really bad hives if I use tide liquid detergent to wash his clothing. It was odd that when I first moved it he developed that and finally we figured it out so although I so love tide in order to prevent any mix-ups I do not purchase it any longer.
