Guest guest Posted August 27, 2000 Report Share Posted August 27, 2000 Hi there! I have been reading your postings, but not participating much lately. My hives were being controlled well by a yeast free diet for about 2 months. Then I went on vacation and got off the diet and the hives returned. Now I can not seem to stick with the diet. Frustrating!! I am not sure if it is that school is started and I have a DIFFICULT class, or that I am just not ready for the diet again. You'd think that I would easily be able to stick to it since the hives improve so much. I am trying not to beat myself up too much over it. I am writing for another reason. I get severe hives and swelling when I take antihistamines (tried them all) and NSAIDs. So I have just been staying away from them. Recently I developed hemorrhoids and had some removed at the doctor (PAINFUL!!!!!). The doctor gave me a topical ointment for the area, but was afraid it would cause hives there (it is an anti-inflammatory, I think). Well, I don't have hives in the area, but it seems to have caused huge hives all over my body. It looks just like I have taken Zyrtec or Advil or something of the sort. You know how hives look different when different things irritate them. This is not a " I ate sugar " rash. This is a medicine rash. I really need the topical stuff right now and I am not having any swelling, so I am still applying the medication. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice? The topical is called Analphram HC Cream 1%. It contains Hydrocortisone Acetate and Pramoxine HCl (whatever that is). Thank you Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
