But when I've had allergic reactions before, it usually lasts until the medication gets out of your system, so if you keep taking it, it keeps happening. Until your body clears it out, you can only really treat the symptoms. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2577790 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:20:09 +0000 Weswife 2577790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bernieboo: thanks I am actually going to doctor just to see what they say and be sure it's hives and then I am going to try an essential oil recipe. I can't handle it anymore! How long did things like this last for uou? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2577201 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 19:16:53 +0000 Bernieboo 2577201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really bad allergies, so I have a lot of experience with hives! As long as your breathing isn't being affected, it's just uncomfortable and annoying. So there's different types of antihistamines and you can double up. For instance, benadryl and zantac are both antihistamines but they work in different ways, so you can use both at the same time. Best thing is to alternate your four hour doses. So take benadryl, 2 hours later take zantac, 2 hours later benadryl, etc. You can do some research to see the different classes of antihistamines. Also, Aveeno makes an oatmeal bath, which is temporary relief, but actually works pretty well for the inflammation and swelling. It's best in cool water. I hope you feel better soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576897 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:06:11 +0000 travellingbee 2576897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: Arg! "acute rash" is not a diagnosis, just a description! :bummed: Doctors sometimes.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576844 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 11:25:07 +0000 Weswife 2576844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnoliamama42: aww nuts! But good to know! Thanks... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576642 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 08:57:55 +0000 magnoliamama42 2576642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ovidrel gave me an itchy rash at the injection site on my abdomen. It was itchy and pink for 5 weeks after! Not as serious a reaction as yours though, so we kept using it. But yeah, those reactions can last way longer than you'd think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576546 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 07:54:53 +0000 Weswife 2576546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ajsmommy @ Marym @ travellingbee I have called the doctor several times. She is calling it an acute rash! But I have had it now for six days and nothing I do helps.... Ugh! It's hives. I finally got an appt. for Wednesday of this week. Apparently I cannot use ovidrel! 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576538 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 07:45:05 +0000 MaryM 2576538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely call the doctor. </p> <p>I take HCG shots and sometimes have one red welt right at the injection site, but nothing that looks like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576509 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 07:15:33 +0000 travellingbee 2576509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I would definitely call doctor! I never had a reaction to ovidrel so not sure but that looks bad! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576494 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 06:12:21 +0000 Ajsmommy 2576494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you called your dr?? I would do that immediately. I did ovidrel shots but never had a reaction so I don't know what advice to give other than call the dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-anyone-seen-this-what-can-i-do-allergic-reaction-to-ovidrel-shot#post-2576455 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 22:41:09 +0000 Weswife 2576455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did my ovidrel shot last Wednesday and the next day I developed a rash and it's just getting worse. I can't get into the doctor till this Wednesday and it's killer. I am taking Benadryl which isn't helping a ton and I am thinking its hives but they just keep spreading. They started at the top of my thighs and are not covering my entire upper leg on both legs. My husband said it feels like he is reading braile on my legs! Bumps are everywhere!!! I have used Benadryl, cornstarch, ice. Nothing helps!!! Has anyone has this reaction or know what to do?</p> <p>[attach=7266/16/o9gq8l.450x600.image.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=7266/16/o9gq8n.450x600.image.jpeg] </p> [attach=7266/16/o9gqa6.450x600.image.jpeg]
