Hives-HELP!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm at my wits end with this case and need some help. For the past 4 months

I have been treating a 30 yr old woman who was initially taking 3 different

types of anti hist meds plus a general anti hist called Aerius. I've managed

to get her down to just the Aerius only when the hives onset. She used to

suffer quite terribly everyday, hives on her chest, always on her wrists and

upper back.

She has Spleen xu, wiry pulse, softer stools, red tongue w/minimal coat.

When I first saw her I put her on Xiao Feng San-that one did the most good

BUT her hives still occured, so I put her on Dang Gui Si Ni Tang to nourish

her blood and Spleen. Sill hives, so my last round of herbs are Xiao Chai Hu

Tang and Jade screen and xanthium formula(just for histamine control).

W/these formulas you'll see from the attached e-mail, her hives are now

presenting quite differently.................

Does anyone out there have any suggestions, PLEASE HELP

see her attached e-mail below;

 

 

thanks for any suggestions, Ann

 

 

I have been managing to get the herbs down without too much gagging, as

prescribed. Since I picked them up, I have taken them and about 8 of the

antihistamine ones, but no Aerius. Today, I got small hives but kept

ignoring them, they would go away and come back somewhere else, on my wrist,

hands, palms, or on the inside of my elbow. Well I guess the hurry to my

massage and the rub down combined were the straw that broke the camel's

back. I hived all over my back and shoulders, particularly on my right side

(My massage therapist asked me to mention that, as she thought it was

peculiar that most were on that side, only a few scattered on the left).

 

My lips were a bit swollen at the top this morning, but I popped two of

those antihistamines and thought I was safe. After the massage and keeping

my head face down in that little hole, my eyes were swollen and my lips were

a plumped as well. I went home and took a whole Aerius and hoped that would

be the end of it. I'm sitting here with my swollen eyes, and my boyfriend

has

benevolently agreed to pick me up after his soccer practice instead of

making his deformed girlfriend champion him from the sidelines...thank God

for small mercies...

 

All I can say is that the hives pop up and go away small at first then more

each time, finally I get tired of fighting it and it goes crazy and...well

you know what happens. It's like a tidal wave, according to my sister.. " I've

never seen someone get hives on the bags under their eyes before, you look

like someone beat you up " . I'm hoping you have some suggestions, or maybe

I'm just a nutcase.
