Hi I'm new here and I have a question. Have any of you experienced Urticuria/hives. I had them when I was young, and they just came back last month. I was diagonsed with PCOS in August, and have been ttc since May 07.

Some things I read talked about them being caused by a hormone imbalance, and I'm wondering if it could be related to the PCOS. My RE told me to call a dermatologist or allergist, but they have only told me to take antihistimines, which stop the itching, but not the hives. Any insight? Thanks!

welcome to sc yes, i get uticaria, too. I have a severe alergy to oranges. Could you go for allergy testing? so you can find out what your trigger is

Thanks for your reply! I have been tested for allergies in the past, and they can't pinpoint anything that I am allergic to. I also keep a daily log of where I go, what I eat and how much sleep I get, and there seems to be no pattern.

I was just curious to see if anyone else here had them and maybe knew if it was stress or hormone-related.

Thanks again!

hope you find out what is triggering it, soon.

I've had the lovely pleasure of having hives for 10 months almost. I've taken allergy medicine, cortisone shots, and predinsone. It always comes back (like every other day,) even though I avoid what triggered it like the plague. Hives live in your nervous system... that's another reason they aren't easily cured.

I've gotten hives a number of times over my life.

(1) was definitely from penicillen (sp?) when I was sick
(2) my friend's house... she has a cat so that could be it but i had kitten when i was younger and never got any hives so we still don't know why everytime i come from her house i get them.

good luck at figuring out why you got them! try real hard to examine everything your exposed to
