By 13May I had a rash on my forehead and 03Jun the hives started. On Sept 28, 1 had the booster. At the time I got the booster, I hadn't realized the vaccines were my problem. At the end of Sep the hives were 90% gone and I was down to 1/2 Allegra and1/2 Zyrtec a day. Now I'm back 1/2 Allegra, 2 1/2 Zyrtec and my prescription antihistamine. I'd had a very mild case of covid in Dec2020. Two doses of pfizer with the 2nd one 19Apr. Hives started 03Jun. I never as completely free from hives, but they were much better by the end of Sept. However, I got the Pfizer booster on Sept 28 and now I have hives everywhere and back to taking lots of antihistamines. It took me getting the booster to realize the vaccine was the cause of the hives. I'm using the 3 products that are listed above that can be purchased through (site name) or other sources and follow the directions on the labels. I'm to drink a lot of water and sweat using sauna or exercise. I just started using these products yesterday and my hives are half the size they were. Hopeful this will help me completely get rid of the hives. I will not get anymore acclnes. The patient had Covid prior vaccination. Covid not tested post vaccination. Device Date : 06Jan2022.
