Annoyed

Well, my thanksgiving was good, I did good. Here's my problem. Friday around noon, I broke out into Hives. I can't figure out why. Nothing new, soaps or food. Nothing strange. I went to the doctor Saturday morning, because by the time I realized it was necessary to go, everywhere was closed and made no sense to go to the ER. They pumped me with steroids, nothing worked. Monday, went to immediate care and they did blood tests, and sent me to the allergist. I am on all kinds of antihistamines which is messing with my stomach. I can barely eat normal foods. My tastes are weird. And with being on the steroids I feel like I've ballooned up. Though it might only be 5 lbs, but it's very disheartening. I've worked so hard and to have this happen is so frustrating. They won't be able to test what I'm allergic to, until I'm off all the antihistamines.

I'm trying to hang in there. I just want to stop scratching. :(

  • Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope that they can fix what set you off quickly, and get you back to normal!

  • Thanks all. Whatever this is, it needs to go already. I don't wish this upon my worst enemy.

  • Shaz, Have you changed any medications? Were you recently sick and maybe took an antibiotic? My father had the same thing happen to him and it was from one of his medications. He had been taking it

I've gotten hives from bee pollen in vitamins (gnc brand has bee pollen) and bee pollen in mascara. Just figured I'd throw that out there in case you started new vitamins or new mascara.

Wow. I didn't know that could happen. Thanks. I will definitely be finding out what caused this. I don't wish this on anyone.
