Sunday night I had what I thought was a rash....but this stuff has turned into a living hell !!I now have hives that cover about 50% of my body. I have been to my family practioner 3 times and just paid a visit to the ER today b/c I felt like I was having trouble swollowing. None of the doctors have a clue what is going on <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/irked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="irked">: The Dr thought I might be having some weird reaction to my prenatal (Tandem) and I haven't taken it in well over 50 hours and I still have hives. The Dr said since I'm having such a sever reaction to whatever, he prescribed me a Medrol steriod pack ( 6 pills for 6 days) To my knowledge I have never had an allergic reaction to any food/ detergent. Sadly I've only had an allergic reaction to Benadryll. Is anyone else going through this? I cannot sleep and I'm just needing some advice or a hug something. Here's a list of things that I have tried:<br><br>
cool shower<br>
every single OTC anti itch cream (Aveeno, Calladryll clear, Cortaid, calendula ..etc)<br>
baking soda paste to rub over the hives<br><br>
I guess I should add that one of the really strange things about these hives is that earlier today they were completely gone and in a matter of 5 min I was cover in them again. I had not ate anything for about 4 hours prior to the breakout.<br><br>
Im so sorry this is so long but I'm just so desperate for any advice
