Dear ek, Your additives are only the trigger that pushes you over the edge. You are to be congratulated for figuring out THAT much. THEN, once you have this under your belt, if you still have questions, write again. The doctors and meds don't seem to help and we're at our wits end - and she has tried everything. Thanks for your help.
Chronic hives are totally unnecessary.
YOU cannot solve this but SHE can. Read everything you can find on the BB about this. THEN, if she still has questions, have HER write again. I am currently only taking 10mg zyrtec every 36 hours to combat the hives, because my condition has slowly gotten better to the point that I do not have to take as much medicine. I also get angioedema sometimes in conjunction with my hives.
