Angioedemia Urticaria-anyone Else Have It? Posted: 08-15-03 12:48pm
Was wondering if anyone other than myself
has diagnosed problems with hives and
swelling? I'm constantly searching for
cures and causes and have never done so
yet. I am open to opinions and ideas. I
may be able to offer some as well.
Everyone's system is so different. Thank
you!

Holly, this is a reply to your concerns
regarding angiodemia unticaria. I
believe I have this condition as well and
it is very brothersome. After going to
doctor after doctor, I finally found
something over the counter to control it.
Without this medication it would be
controlling me. It horrible. Do you
have any information on what other
treatments or causes for this condition.
Is it chronic to the point where it will
show up as something else. Please post a
reply--terryfew

Hey hivegirl,
if it makes you feel any better your not
the only one...Im only 15 and im basically
going through what you are...The doctors
have tried to figure out what is wrong
with me, but couldnt figure it out. If
you need some tips, at the top of the
page...Where it says quick search, type in
angioedemia, then click on the link that
isnt yours, there should only be one,
scroll down and find the post I made, it
may bring you some help. Or at least some
things your could ask your doctor so your
life isnt miserable.

please let me know what medication you are
taking. My husband has palm, feet,
throat and tongue swelling. From what
i've read here I believe it's anxiety
related (son went into army recently).
Any help appreciated.

hello.. Hives and swelling...
You are allergic to something that u have
eaten or used such as changed washing
powder or softener.. You need to keep a
food dairy of foods eaten and if u have
changed washing powders make note.. Of
anything new..
With ure food book, u need to write down
anything u eat... When u get the hives
fold that page down.. Or two pages..When
ever u discover it fold those pages down..
And dont eat anything on those pages till
hives have gone.. Takes 2 to 10 or more
for them to go away..
Once gone go back to the pages u folded
over and add one food at a time until u
get the hives..
This is how u will be able to figure out
what it is u are allegic to..
As far as getting rid of the hives and
swelling... The only way to do this is
to figure out what u are allergic to..
And never eat it again.. It can be more
than one thing u are allergic to..
Useally it is something u eat alot of..
Could be ure favorite food..
Hives and swelling.. Hives are big
spottchy red swelling spots ..They itch
and if u scratch they will hurt.. And
spread sometimes down a arm or leg..
My doctor tried a experiment.. That I now
live with daily...
I take zertec and zantec together..It
really helps.. Plus I stay away from
pork...
Sometimes when I do eat it by accident
...Depending on how much it was ..
Like the other day I went to "on the
border" I was asking about something I
was eating.. And the manger came out and
said that the refried beans had pork
juice in it.. Well too late..I ate two
spoon fulls.. But them beans were salty
so I didnt eat any more..But dang had me
worried all day that I might get sick..
But because of the zertec and zantac.. I
didnt get any hives..At all..
Or any other problems..Thank god for
that...
Good luck and hope u find out what u are
allergic to..
Remember..Get a food dairy book and figure
it out what u are allergic to

Angioedemia Posted: 01-24-05 15:57pm
My husband was recently diagnosed with
angioedemia (hives). He experienced
swelling on hands, feet, but the throat
swelling was the most terrifying.
The doctor determined it was caused by
anxiety (son is in military overseas) and
prescribed xanax, which takes the edge off
his anxiety.
Since taking the medication he has had no
reoccuring episodes. He stopped taking
if for a few days, but the swelling
returned.
Hope this cure helps someone else. The
doctor also advised him to go to
counseling in order to learn to deal with
his anxiety and not to rely on the xanax,
which, he says, can be habit-forming.

Hi all
since my son had his attack of hives I
have been looking like you have all sayed
at what he had eaten the day before and I
have sayed since it happen that it was
connected too the cheese will explain I
dont as a rule have cheese in the house re
it gives me a head ache from hell but my
son bless loves cheese and as he had not
been eating I was experimenting with
different ideas anything too get him to
eat ( this was before hives )
well in short I was having a convastion a
few days after the attack of hives and
someone happen too say what sort of cheese
( chedder ) and I was asked if I had
checked the packet my answer ( was no
cheese is milk ) so I did not think about
it at time
well I have now checked it out and on the
packet it sayes not very clearly ( may
contain nut or seed ) hmmmm and yes it was
that small I did not see it but that seems
too be the way of these food comanys )
my doctor now sort of agree that it could
have been an nut allegic reaction that
started the hives reaction and I have
banged the drum for patch test too see if
there is anything else that I need too
look out for ( I know this may not show
all that I may have too watch for but its
a start )
well they are not happy about testing him
he him being 2 and a half they say its to
younge and my answer was simply I want
him too grow up and these test may or may
not help him do that ( oh he may grow out
of it ) yep he may do or he may not as my
daughter sayes she still waiting :?:
pss sorry my spelling sucks am fighting
the two year old for pc

Been There!!!! Posted: 05-05-05 11:23am
I had hives for a year straight from head
to toe. I thought I was going to die of
depression at one point. I cried and
stayed in my room for a year. I have a
husband and two young daughters and it was
hard on them. I went to every specialist
known. I tried every product and spent
about 10k trying to help my hives.I got
fed up and decided I had to get my life
back. I don' t believe in western
medicine anymore. Just read how many of
these problem have no answers by doctors.
I had to change my life style and habits.I
have been hive free for a year and a half.
I still stick to my changes everyday of
my life and probably always will. I have
found great products after all these
years. It is not just one product that
will make a difference it is a change of
life.

Please, I had hives for 1 1/2 year. It
took me an insane amount of research, and
I finally solved it. Afterwards I used
the same technique, so far on my count 9
people have completely gotten rid of
chronic urticaria/hives.
Do the following.... No medicine needed.
The cause is "detergent residue" and most
people in their life time are not commited
enough to solve it. Follow these
techniques, it has not failed once.
1.) get rid of all your clothes. Throw
them away or put them in a plastic bag air
tight. You'll likely never wear them
again.
2.) buy all new clothes. Preferably
loose instead of tight. If you are
budget strapped, buy just enough full sets
of clothes for a 2 week rotation only.
3.) buy a new bath towel. Only use this
one.
4.) get rid of your bed sheets and
blankets. Buy new ones.
5.) before you do laundry, pre rinse 1
cycle with just water.
6.) when you do laundry, don't use any
detergent. Use baking soda only. The
hard part is making sure the people who
share machine with you don't use detergent
either!!!!
7.) now wash everything you bought a
couple times with baking soda only.
Towel, bed sheets, clothes.
8.) only wear your newly purchased
clothes, all cotton. No polyester.
9.) only sleep on the bed with the new bed
sheets.
10.) exercise daily enough to sweat the
existing residue off. If you can't
workout and sweat, take a detox bath.
Make sure the bath tub is detergent free.
No trace of any chemicals etc.
11.) wipe any furniture/couch/chair you
might have very clean. Detergent
residues are practically invisible.
12.) I have not met one person who was not
cleared of this problem after 4-6 weeks.
4 weeks if you are committed!!!!

Allergies are considered an autoimmune
disorder, since they are caused by an
over-reaction of the immune system whereby
the body produces too many antibodies to
neutralize an antigen.
Strengthening your immune system is a must
and can be done naturally…drop me an
e-mail and I will send you some
information.
