Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Sounds like a reaction to a biologic. Had an infusion lately. On MTX? Plaquenil. All these can cause that but it sounds like Remicade or Enbrel or Humira reaction to me. Hugs, Deborah P>S> Someone on the board recently got over a terrible case of the HIVES after a remicade infusion. On 6/9/06, aclavern33@... <aclavern33@...> wrote: Anyone else suffer from Hives? I have had hives ALL over for the past two days. I first thought it was started due to an allergy to a hair cream I had used. I am deathly allergic to sulfa and sulfites. But after 48 hrs of suffering I finally went to the doc today. 80 mg steroid injection and Clarinex pills I am feeling much better. He told me continue taking Benedryl as I feel is needed. I saw a nurse practitioner who was wonderful!!! Still sore and a prickly feeling on the worst places...but much better. I called my rheummy and let him know. To see if he wanted to see me. I get hives right before a major flare. But he told me to see my PCP to get the Hives documented and see him if I had RA symptoms!! Wow lots of help!!! I am tired of this jerk and I can not wait until the new doc arrives in town. Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hey there Tawny, Already there!!! But the large shot of solu-medrol is really helpful!! I am going to try to take my Humira this weekend. ICK!! Now I have a sore butt from the shot!! LOL But I feel much better today. The hives are completely gone, but the sore spots where I was scratching are still here. Now I need to take all my blankets and pillows to the laundrymat and wash them!!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Toni, I have never had hives, but they sound very painful. I am so glad you went to the doctor, and they got you on some meds. I hope you don't go in a flare now, my prayers are with you, Tawny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I hope your able to take the Humira shot this weekend. Glad your feeling better, other then your sore butt,lol I'm not laughing at you, but with you:) Make sure you put something on the sore spots, you sure don't need an infection. Sorry you had to do all that laundry feeling miserable. Stay out of the heat, I know that doesn't help you. I know its hot there, its roasting here.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 No Biologics and heck no on the Methotrexate...that stuff is poison!!! Actually I am not on any meds right now. I was suppose to re-start my meds over a month ago. But just keep forgeting. Humira burning like acid is a good reason to forget! LOL I am allergic to sulfa so I discovered sulfa was an additive in a hair cream I was using. That is the only change I have made. I got a shot of steriods and Clarinex to take. The hives left with in minutes of the steriod shot and have not returned. I called my rheummy but he told me see my PCP which was many hours after I called him. But the time I got the message I had already seen my doc. I don't know why I even bother to call him!!! He is a total waste of time and money!!!! I just need to wait a few more weeks until the new rheummy opens his practice in the old clinic I use to go to. Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
