Causes to hives are unknown , i too suffer from a condition called urticaria or hives it stays for more than 6 weeks and ever since it come last year it never has fully gone away.
i tried homeopathy and and medicines but what has worked for me is
1 chamomile tea and
2 bathing in neem water
procedure to make neen water
take a handful of neem leaves and boil it in a large vessel till water turns green. after your shower pour the neem water on self.
Please note that the water has to be scolding hot hence to put it on one self would be detrimental so take a jug and fill half and half (make sure that water in the jug is still hot so when you pour over yourself you get a relaxing tingling feeling on your skin, the immediate shock will startle you and your skin but you will get used to it by the end of the bath.
Do not rub or dab towel on yourself try to air dry yourself.
make sure that you ask your doctor before consumption of chamomile tea.
it does have a few side effects it works as an anti inflammatory and a mild sedative (its a majour no no for pregnant women ).
this is what i have been doing and to an extent it helps .
I have had hives since september 2009. I have been to my family doctor, emergency room, urgent care twice, 2 specialist.
They started after coming back from a camping trip for 4 days. I waxed my eyebrows and as the day passed I thought maybe the wax was getting old and I should buy new, which I did. Also took some Benadryl and the went away by the next day.
Two weeks later I was at a wedding and my right foot swalled up. Thought maybe I broke it. Went in for test to urgent care and the doctor told me that I probably had arthritis or gout. That happens at my age. She told me to take Motrin but I felt that was incorrect and took Bendryl and by the next day it was gone.
Two weeks later I started getting hives on my hands, arms and under my bra. I went to the doctor and he gave me some cream for mites because he thought from being up north maybe I got into something. WOW they hive got unbareable after using that rx. o I called him and he gave me stgeriods and they went away. then a month later I waxed my eyebrows and everthing seemed fine until I woke up the next morning and I couldn't open my eyes I felt like my face was a puff ball. I yelled for my husband and he turned on the light he was freaked out. So I got up and put some cold ragges on my face and the swelling went down. I called the dr and went in for a STEROID shot. The hives disappeared for 45 days I thought. Then my dr sent me to a specialist.
The first specialist gave me a sheet a paper about hives and told me that I was to old to be tested for allergies. I was also in a group of people who are going thru changes like menopause. When I left his office I thought at the age of 47 I was basically screwed.
I now go to another specialist and he is sending is sending me to U Of M.
I for my own personal use I am taking notes in a journal. What I eat, how I feel, how much sleep.
I have had hives for 16 years, every single day if I don't take an anti-histamine tablet. There is no known trigger for mine, they are they regardless of what I do, eat, drink, touch, wear, breathe in etc. They are not stress related because when I've had some good patches in my life with no stress they don't clear up, nor do they get worse when I'm really stressed out. Sometimes the cause can't be found and taking anti-histamines long term is the only solution but for me it's a case of thank heavens for those tablets or I'd have scratched my skin off by now!
secondly yes i suffer the same symptoms
i will tel u what im allergic to
mosquitoes
sun (getting tanned very easily , allergic to sun block start to itch when i sweat in the sun )
if i sweat profusely doing any laborious work i itch if i dont wash of quickly .
if im stimulated with the allergen then anything food / clothing can bring on the hives
U said that u have allergy and it springs on when u go to MacDonald or burger king
have u stopped to think what ur putting in ur tummy
seperate all food grouops
bread
meat
vegetables sauses side orders and drinks
once u narrow down the main particular things then identify the the ingredients inside those dishes and go to a micro level
to identify what is troubling u
