Sorry I am not able to provide an answer as to how to stop the itchy, bumpy rash/hives from reoccurring @puravidaville

From personal experience if you want relief from agonizing itching, I highly recommend taking a warm bath into which you add a cup of distilled vinegar. Another thing that helped stop the itchiness was to put Epsom salt on a wet washcloth and rub it over the itchy bumps till the salt disolved -- also while in the bathtub. You can repeat the vinegar baths and Epsom salt, several times a day. I had a nasty case of poison oak in June that took over a month before it fully went away. Clobetasol Prop Ointment was prescribed as I wasn't a candidate to have a steroid shot due to side effects. Please let me know if this helps!🛀🧴

My first guess is that the hives might be a weird undocumented side effect that occurs after you take certain medications that don't mix well in your system. An endocrinologist might be able to help.

You're a terrific husband to seek help from the community @dandays Good luck!

I was hoping this morning they wouldn’t appear but an hour after awaking they were there. I take an allergy pill and they disappear and don’t return until the day after the next. It’s such a strange thing. I don’t any medication except of course what I take for the hives. Thank you for dropping a line @ninahaskin. You’re right, my husband is the best! Thanks again 🥰

Yes, allergy medicines work great to stop the itching-- till it wears off. I hoped whatever caused your hives went away by now. Hair loss along with hives could be stress-related or a reaction to any number of things. Good luck getting to the root of this! @puravidaville

I sure am glad you think so, @ninahaskin. I only wish I would’ve asked a year ago. The response we’ve received from this article has been more than I could’ve asked for. We’re both grateful for everyone’s kindness and willing to share their knowledge—a big huge THANK YOU! <—bigger than that.

Happy to try to help! @dandays

It's frustrating when you know an answer to the cause of the hives exists but the normal fixes aren't working. It could be something random and easy to correct that's causing the reaction. Hopefully it is! Any updates?🤞💫

Actually, yes. Thanks to the support from everyone and the exponential generosity by @jaguar.force, I think we’re finally at the root of the infection in her gut and are attacking it. She has an appointment with a doctor in the UK next month to get her biome tested to rule out anything we haven’t addressed. The hives are still appearing every other day, thought seem to be returning a little lighter each time, but we’ve been at it for a week straight now. And it was until just yesterday I was able to stock the proper natural extracts to battle what we believe is the center of the infection. It’s been a process and a heck of a learning curve.

This community has shared more knowledge in less than a week than the medical personnel has in two years.

Thank you for caring.

Fingers crossed! Hopefully the combination of natural extracts and the doctor next month resolve the problem. Curious if apple cider vinegar (Bragg's ACV) might be used to help the stomach infection.

You know what, @ninahaskin? We’ve actually tried that previously. That, mixed with oregano, probably a few other attempts. This has been such a painful one to diagnose. Occasionally she’ll still drink oil cider vinegar.

Man, I’m so glad nobody else is in this position. One thing after the other, even received medical attention at UCLA and Stanford, two of the most prestigious medical schools in Ca—her we are. It’s frustrating. And I have to admi, until I saw the hives like that, something visible actually made themselves appear, I was beginning to think she was crazy like “there’s nothing wrong with you.”

I wish it didn’t require something visible to get me fully on board but, then again, had it not been for the things we wouldn’t be progressing the way we are now. Big huge bowl of love from Rome to you—thank you!
