They went away after a few months of their own accord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1910836 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 11:22:36 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1910836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get them more often when I was a kid - I'm allergic to penicillin (so is my mom) and once I got them while taking a z-pack (but it also could have been from the virus I had). The last time I got them was the night we got engaged! I still don't know what caused it - at the time I thought it was food, but now I think it was probably stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1910800 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 11:08:57 +0000 Snowybreeze 1910800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them all the time and always have to hold back on scratching and scarring my face! I get hives when it's too cold, or too hot. I get them when I smell cookies baking, most fragrance will give me hives. My most recent allergic reaction breaking out in hives is shrimp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1907399 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 10:21:10 +0000 Banana330 1907399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from running in cooler weather. I also get them whenever my body temp is raised (walking quickly) and it's cool outside. Just randomly started 5 years ago when I was living in the UK, it sucks cause I live in Canada now and it makes winter activities more uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1907345 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 09:58:13 +0000 Mommy Finger 1907345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from soy. . . which is a huge bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1906397 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 06:42:08 +0000 Chaosmaven 1906397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once, due to a switch in detergent in my last month of pregnancy. It was miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1906268 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 20:25:03 +0000 Aimed 1906268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the worst hives for most of the summer, lips swelling etc.. I went on prednisone to try to get rid of it and ended up just getting sick as it ruins your immune system. That cold caused a cough which caused me to crack a rib and when I took NSAIDs for the pain the hives got worse, like face and lip swellingly worse! I then went to an allergist who recommended Zyrtec which I took and it turned out that a small dose would control it. Like one a day and then one every other day, eventually one a week and then the hives just disappeared as quick as they came. I still freak if I see something on my skin resembling one now though cos I'm so afraid they'll come back.<br /> Through going to allergists, accupuncturists etc to solve it, I found no allergies but I did discover that I have a possible predisposition for an autoimmune disease so I was just as advised to work at staying as healthy as possible.<br /> So a really long way of saying that it can be really hard if not impossible to get to the bottom of hives but think about your general health and stress levels. I really sympathize as I know it is the worst! Take care of yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905955 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:22:44 +0000 anonysquire 1905955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine from anxiety. I had like 2 months straight of hives. I seriously thought it was bed bugs or something in my carpet but I have professionals come check 5 times. Anyways they went away on their own after 2 miserable months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905953 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:21:38 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1905953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get hives from stress all over my chest. I also got them one time from what my doctor thought was likely a one time reaction to strawberries. It's apparently not all that uncommon. It's never happened again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905876 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 07:56:28 +0000 cmomma17 1905876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them in high school due to an allergy to a cleaner they were using in the building.</p> <p>Now I get them occasionally due to stress/anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905872 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 07:43:54 +0000 babycanuck 1905872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aveeno bath was the only way to get rid of mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905831 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 00:42:52 +0000 mrsjazz 1905831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from eating sugars. Sucks so much. This just started this year a few months ago. </p> <p>The unfortunate thing about hives is that for a lot of people the cause is unexplainable. I had a friend who battled hives for almost a year and took every medical test under the sun. They stopped on their own and she never knew why she had them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905821 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:30:52 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1905821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from most laundry detergents and also if it's too hot while I'm sleeping. They aren't any fun, but usually go away if I change back to my only "safe" detergent or take a super cold bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905794 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:40:32 +0000 Synchronicity 1905794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them all the time. I'll have days where every night before bed I'll get hives all over my body, and then the next morning they are mostly gone... only to appear again at night. This will go on for 3-4 nights, and then not happen again for months. Completely baffling to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905789 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:29:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1905789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About the zyrtec and benadryl... I was controlling them with zyrtec too the first go round, and I started reading a ton of things about it online. Your body can become dependent on zyrtec, so when I completely stopped taking zyrtec my body's hives actually became WORSE before it became better. There were two weeks after I stopped taking zyrtec where I was MISERABLE. Kind of like going into drug withdrawal. So you might want to do your own research and not get too dependent on those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905788 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:26:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1905788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! I think energy drinks triggered something in my system years ago, so I completely cut those out. Figuring out the cause is really really hard. I went to several specialists and even tried acupuncture to control them. They eventually went away/went into remission. Then I got a really bad flare up after being pregnant with Jaren. Discovered I developed a gluten allergy - cutting that out has gotten everything under control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905773 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:09:37 +0000 sunny 1905773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from certain foods. Duck is a trigger for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905767 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:04:04 +0000 ladybee 1905767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from stress and anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905765 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:02:46 +0000 mamimami 1905765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I didn't get them from an allergy but from a fungus I had eaten that was bad or old or something like that. I have eaten the same thing since with no problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905756 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:59:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1905756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: yes but i eat mushrooms all the time. right now my whole upper body is covered in hives! i guess i will go see an allergist, but i've never had any allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905755 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:57:48 +0000 Jess1483 1905755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get it from my corn allergy. It didn't develop until college, and it only affects me ever 10th time I eat corn or so, so it took me forever to figure out what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905747 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:52:36 +0000 mamimami 1905747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you eaten mushrooms lately? I got them once from eating some bad mushrooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905745 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:50:31 +0000 mrs. bird 1905745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i get them when i have a reaction from food allergies and sometimes i get them just from stress. cool showers and benadryl clear mine up pretty well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905734 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:36:55 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1905734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bad case last summer, even went to the dermatologist who prescribed me some sort of ointment. What worked the best was dried nettle pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905728 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:29:35 +0000 avivoca 1905728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from prolonged exposure to grass (like if I roll around in it or sit down for too long) and have gotten them from a specific line of massage cream and body spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hives#post-1905716 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:25:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1905716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought that I had a bad case of eczema, but the pharmacist told me it was a bad case of hives. Since it can be hard to detect the cause, I haven't been to an allergist or dermatologist yet and have been treating it with benadryl and zyrtec.</p> <p>I haven't changed anything about my products or diet, so I'm not sure what the cause could be. They spread across my entire body from my head to my ankles and are so itchy!</p> <p>Have you ever had hives? Were you able to get rid of them? </p>
