Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi everyone. I've never spoke up before, but I wanted to let you know how much this list helps me through the day. I like to read about your experiences and relate them to mine. My urticaria defies any explanation. Heat, cold, contact, pressure, stress, anything can set it off. I've been hiving since I was 13 years old and I'm 47 years old now. What helps me on one day, doesn't on another. I've tried all the meds and some help, some doesn't. Anyway, I've been in the hospital for a couple of days for chest pain. Nothing wrong with my heart, but some kind of inflammation (wonder where that came from?) in my chest, ribs, sternum or something. The drs. sent me home with a diagnosis of costochondritis. While I was in the hospital, they were taking my blood pressure at least once an hour. Well, where the blood pressure cuff was around my arm broke out in one great big hive all around my arm. When my daughter came in, she rubbed it with Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion for Dry Skin. And surprise! It actually relieved some of the heat and swelling and itch. What I want to know is has anyone else ever noticed this, or was it just luck that day? Judy from WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
