Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi a, I changed the subject line for future people searching for hives advice. I just got out of a cool bath with corn starch, hope it helps. My swelling is way down but I'm very swollen in some of the places that were bad, I look extremely round-shouldered but it's just swollen. My GP said to call tomorrow and if I'm still having problems he'll get me in to an allergist. I'm a theatre critic and at this rate I'm going to have to cancel this week because not only am I not presentable, I couldn't sit up for two hours straight without scratching my skin off. It's a small theatre I'm assigned to Thursday ( Imperioli's Studio Dante) and it would be noted, to the extent that my review would be tainted. But it's very interesting to hear that you too had a delayed response reaction. I bet that's what this is. sigh. My doc thinks it should be greatly improved within 48 hours. Hope he's right. I will check out askpatient.com Thanks again! I've never had anything like this before and since I've had RA for 28 years, it's a shock.
