General :: Hives Daily For Past Two Years
Jul 10, 2013
I have had hives for the past 2 years. They used to come and go but for the past 6 months or so they have been a daily part of my life. My skin feels like its crawling at all times, especially my arms. I have had one doctor appointment after another and had allergy testing done 3 weeks ago. No allergies. My blood work came back "normal". My thyroid TSH level is in normal range but my FREE T4 is low . Doctor just said retest in 6 weeks. I have been extremely achy for the past 2 months and tired beyond belief. Pushing myself through every day. My feet hurt so much, I do all I can to stay off of them and go nowhere. I must be retaining water because my feet and toes look very puffy. I feel like I have been hit by a bus every day. The only relief I get from hives is putting ice packs on me or stand in a cold shower. Its all enough to make me believe I am crazy. The chronic hives make me wonder if its something to do with my immune system ? but why isnt Dr. picking up on that ? I have noticed if I take anything, medication wise, the hives get worse. I just want to feel better and not like I am 150 years old... has anyone out there experienced anything like this ?

I am a 21 year old girl who has struggled with recurring yeast infections for the past 3 years. They would come every 4-6 months and I'd treat them and they'd go away for the time and come back. Well I had to take penicillin for strep throat 2 months ago and guess who got a lovely yeast infection? Even taking a diflucan with the antibiotics it still came, so yes I've had a yeast infection for almost 3 months straight. I've give to planned parenthood several times, one doctor says it's yeast the next says it's BV and now this doctor says it's both! Of course they send me home with metrogel and a diflucan even though that hasn't helped. I'm going to do the treatment knowing it's not going to cure it, there's some type of hope right? I need some support from other ladies dealing with this. I've struggled with depression and this is intensifying it. I feel hopeless, I can't have sex and I'm a mess. My boyfriend is completely understanding, but ya no sex isn't the funnest thing. I've also been doing the yeast diet, cut sugars out, no bread, no alcohol, pretty much nothing. I'm taking probiotics, eating yogurt, wearing cotton undies, wearing nothing but dresses at night. I just really really need somebody to tell me what helps them get through this, I wanna cry plenty of times throughout the day because this is so miserable.

The colour is a brown pinky sort of colour and my stomach as been feeling a little churny.

I have had extremely light periods for the past 2 months. They have always been very predictable. Every 28 days lasting 5 to 6 days. Last month, it was 2 days early, light flow for 1 half day, spotting before and after for a day. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. This month.. All day yesterday (26 days), I had blood (red/pink) when wiping but not all the time and had small blood stains on my panties at the end of the day. This morning, there's no blood. Same as last month. My weight is not a problem and I haven't changed my diet. I am not under any more stress than usual. Why the unusual period?

Been getting tingling in my lips over the past week. This is new for me. Starting to feel like a hypochondriac. Seems like I have something that bothers me everyday. Was not like this last year. I had little things every once in awhile but felt very healthy. I do not feel healthy now, I feel sick everyday.
Question: I have heard people say when they have "attacks". What is an attack and how do you know if you have one?

I'm a 25 yr old female, married for over a year, and my husband and I have little to no sex life. My heart is breaking because i need to find answers..
I learned to masturbate when i was 12 years old, over the years i've had to think of more and more erotic fantasies or else I can't seem to achieve orgasm. Stimulation isn't enough, and over the years i have rubbed pretty hard. I'm really worried that i may have desensitized my clitoris.
The very first time my husband used a vibrator on my clit it was the most amazing thing i've ever felt... but with more use it's harder and harder to find the right spot, and the batteries have to be FRESH.
Before we got married, i had never had actual intercourse, and my fiance and i would get pretty hot n heavy with petting or whatever. but now that we're married i have a VERY hard time getting aroused around him! I don't like having my nipples touched, we don't do oral because we're both grossed out by it, and i get grossed out by french kissing.
I have a hard time masturbating in front of my husband, i don't know why, i think that i get shy.. and another thing is that whenever my husband and i try to have a kissing session i start to giggle uncontrollably but i don't get aroused.
again, my heart is breaking because we don't have a normal sex life.. i'm desperate for answers... i waited to have sex until marriage and sometimes it feels like it wasn't even worth it.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention that when i do orgasm there's little to no lubrication created, and sexual intercourse hurts and doesn't feel good. I think that part of my arousal problem is the fact that I know that sex isn't going to feel good

Does this sound like how anxiety works to you? I feel like I become so afraid of the things that have made me feel scared in the past. And, of course, with anxiety, the things that have made me feel scared form a very long list.
This then is what keeps anxiety going. For example, "once I had a panic attack while waking up, now I always feel scared when getting up in the morning".
Does this sound familiar?

For the second month I am experiencing abnormal menstrual pain. the area of both my ovaries hurt ... I took some painkiller to stop the pain and it helped, but usually this is not the case with me. Usually I feel pain the first 2 hours when I get period, and the pain is not so strong... I just have to lay down and I feel better. But for the past two months, the pain so strong I had to take painkillers and it is lasting more than 3 days. What does that mean?

I'm a 27 year old woman and I've recently developed an extremely itchy rash on my back and hives- only on left side. At first i thought it was hives but usually when j get hives they are whitish but these are more red and some have a scabby surface. I haven't had any "pain" or burning but the itching is bad enough to where I can't sleep. This is around the 6th day with them. I will post a picture of what they looked like the first day vs now.

I've been a long time user of Ramipril and most recently posted about getting hives from it ... so my doc instead prescribed enalapril.
Just curious if anyone here can explain what might be going on with me... basically what occurred was:
Over the summer I stopped Ramipril due to suspicion of hives, for 2 months. Test was sort of inconclusive, as I did get a hive when restarting, but then no more. Anyway, BP was generally fine while off ramipril, about 120/85-88 ish. Latter number was somewhat high for me, so I restarted it.
Within one week I noticed increased ringing in the ears.
Over the next several weeks I noticed feeling somewhat sickly, like I had a virus.
BP initially went down to 120/80, but over time began to rise. Ended up being around 130-140/95 (higher than it was before I even started it). Bottom number higher than anytime in my life really.
Pulse strangely went up... a lot. From around 80 to 90-95. Occasionally even got to 100.
This week I started Enalapril (or two days ago to be exact). I just took my BP, it came in at 118/88 (diastolic till a tad highish) and pulse of 78. And overall I feel better and a lot calmer.
My question is, what happened exactly? I tool Ramipril for years and it never rose my BP or pulse before. Could it be a bad reaction due to a specific generic manufacturer? Long term allergy to ramipril that sort of just went haywire when stopping/restarting it?
Or is there something special about enalapril that would make it work better? I wouldn't think so, as they are both ace inhibitors.
Or just a weird coincidence?

Ok so I've been trying to get rid of my hives for a little over a week now. This is the first time I've had them. I've gone to the doctor twice and the ER once for them. The doctor gave me 2 steroid shots and gave me some scripts. I'm using Triamcinolone Acetonide cream, I'm on day 4/6 MethylPREDNISolone pills, and I'm taking Hydroxyzine pills 4x daily. The ER suggested that it may be scabies and prescribed me the cream which I've already used and am through with. The ER also gave me a shot of meds that was suppose to kill the scabies if there were any and gave me a shot of benadryl. The ER wasn't sure if I actually had scabies or not but went ahead and treated me for them just in case. I live in my apartment with my boyfriend and he has been untouched. I've washed everything washable in hot water twice now and I've been staying at my grandmother's house until I can get rid of them. But they're still popping up. I haven't changed anything in my diet. I do own 3 cats but have never had problems with them. They are indoor cats and I haven't seen them in 4 days. I haven't changed anything in my daily routine. I'm just completely out of ideas for why/how I've gotten them and why I can't get rid of them. I have another prednisone treatment waiting at the pharmacy for me prescribed by the ER but haven't picked it up yet because I'm still taking the Methyl. I have been to an allergist but all the tests came back negative.
