Guess what


Posted: Apr 17, 2016

Well, after googling all sorts of things, I finally found angioedema (giant hives). I have had hives at least three times in my life starting as a young girl that had no cause. No meds, no different soaps, nothing. I am going to go back to the doctor and hope he gives me some kind of prednisone or Solumedrol. The itching is what finally convinced me. I mean I really itch and also the hives are so large. I don't usually have this large of hives. They say hives can get up to the size of a dinner plate, but mine are not that large, but are larger than I usually have. One time when I had the hives, I had them internally before I actually broke out on the outside. I have had them the three times at different times of the year so can't be the year like pollen, etc. in spring and summer. Anyway, I would like to finally get over these. My skin is so sensitive right now and they hurt as well as itch. I don't have shingles and hope I never get them, but must be like people who have them. Skin itchy and also hurts. That to me is weird. Just pray I can get the medication I need as well as get back on my daily Lasix 10 mg and not 20 mg. If I am swelled up inside that might make my not urinating well the reason why. No problem with my usual daily diarrhea though, darned. Please continue to pray. I have appreciated that so much from all of you. ;

I'm so sorry you are going through this, although I can relate - anon

I've had the same thing. The first occurrence was when I was in my late teens. Nothing unusual, however, broke out in huge hives, nearly dinner plate size. The physician who examined me actually sat in amazement watching them form. He had no idea what was happening. I was placed on prednisone which helped eventually. I remember that painful itch - it was torture.

The second occurrence was a week after I gave birth to my youngest son. I had had an epidural C-section. I had never had an issue prior to anesthesia or tape, latex, etc. I again had huge hives and was treated with prednisone.

The third time was different. I developed erythema multiforme - the mild form - in response to mycobacterial pneumonia. These spots were small, red, and itchy. However, these disappeared with just using hot water compresses and time. Thereafter, I developed them in response to viruses and kayaking in the river, after I had gone under.

No idea if any of this helps, however, I still have no answer for the giant hives. I do know that I have super sensitive skin and the ME. Hope you feel better soon.

I get hives, too - sm

Mine happen when I'm under extreme stress. No other time. But yours could be different.

I think you're right that it's not shingles. But did you ask a medical professional, just to be sure?

I hope you get to the bottom of it and can get some relief. I'll pray for that.

If you are not urinating you might be in renal failure. The angioedema might be lupus or an autoimmune disorder. Have you had a colonoscopy to see if you have bowel issues to cause the diarrheal? According to what I have read you have had it for weeks. We are praying for you but please let the doctors do their job, stop guessing at what is wrong with you and get some help.

I know my body and hives is what this is - anonie

Can't get into the doctor till Wednesday morning and have to drive 23 miles one way. Small town here so don't know what doctors, if any, are taking new patients.

Please stop judging me. I am 71 years old and I know my body.

I was concerned about you and trying to help. I'm 61 and don't know anything.

I do not like opinionated people.

BTW I am urinating better now.

I never asked for any diagnosis. I asked for prayer and told you all what I thought I might have.

Some gave their opinions but yours was an edict like I was the stupid one.
I don't like you either - Still here

When I work I have my window shutters open, sit where I can see anyone who passes by my home (live in a cul-de-sac), comes down my driveway, the mail person, others and love it. My husband was expecting a package, which I did not know about until after hubby arrived home yesterday asking if the men in brown had been here. I had seen them stop right beside my mailbox but never came down the driveway. Husband checked his email and saw where the package was delivered. Might have been but not to us. ...

I thought he was very honest in his testimony.  Apparently most of Congress does too. A quote from Rubio:   "I was, quite frankly, impressed by his honesty," Rubio told reporters. "That's the first time I've ever seen a witness come before Congress and admit they leaked something through an intermediary to get it to the press." Like most lawmakers, Rubio does not doubt that Comey felt pressured by the president. "Whether it rises to criminality, I think there' ...
