utricaria: For I'm confused again.

[Guest guest]

For

Not a clue what the = at the end of my name means. I have turned off the

automatic signature on my work email, so maybe it has something to do with

that.

So does this mean I have DPU, can I be auto-immune and have DPU, I'm

confused again. When I scratch I come up in hives, when my skin is " bothered "

it comes up in hives and when someone grabs me a little too hard I come up in

hives. But I reckon it was the contraceptive pill that triggered my hives so

that

would point to auto-immune, as my thyroid is normal. A doctor friend of mine

had a look at my bloodtests and she reckoned that my ANA levels and

rheuamtoid factor were not actually that high. I remember reading something

about an auto-immune thing that only resulted in the rash. Is that the derma

whatsit thing you mentioned. Oh I don't know what I have. I'm going back to

ideopathic again, life was simpler! LOL

I am so looking forward to my appointment with the rheumatologist in May,

perhaps I will finally get some answers. (well maybe)

Everytime I go to get my prescription for my anthistamines I get questioned

about the dosage. The pharmacist always tells me I am supposed to take only

one a day, not four. I have to go through the whole story again. Oh well.
