Hello @thoferer81017,

Welcome to Connect. I can imagine how disabling and frustrating this must be!

Here is some information on chronic hives (urticaria), from Mayo Clinic: http://mayocl.in/2fe76A6

I found a few members who have discussed hives; please meet @lamerex4, @bluecinnamon, @kamuela, @dwead1, @debras, @cdavaine, @conniesgore, @amberpep, @suzieapples, @marigold, @sjthate, @lakemichigan1, @bcsurvivor2006, @upinatreehouse, @brendabirkman, @bettyann.

@thoferer81017, how are you coping everyday? Have you been advised to avoid certain triggers?

Hi ..... oh my ... I feel SO sorry for you .... they are just awful. When I get hives (normal sized ones) I take 2 or 3 Benadryl; but twice I have also had them that were the size of dinner plates .... once when I got bitten by a juvenile black widow spider and the other time from a medication I was getting when I had my knee replacement. With those, my doctors gave me Prednisone .... sometimes called a Pred Pack. I also took Benadryl too at the same time. Talk to your doctor about Prednisone. There is a regimen you have to follow, that is why the Pred Pack is so simple. Please keep us updated. Good luck.
