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! | |

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 | |
