Hi everyone .... I usually hang out at the brain disorders group (Bipolar 2), but I have need for you all today. I took allergy shots for about 10 years - that was easily 12 years ago. They really worked, contrary to what I'd been told by a lot of folks. The passed 3-4 years, once I get up in the morning I take 2 Benadryl, and then 2 more around 5 PM. As soon as I'm up about 10 min. my hands breakout in what they call "pressure hives." Usually this is JUST my hands, but now and then I can get a patch somewhere else, especially if I rub it on something. This only happens this time of year for me - late Autumn. Otherwise I seem to be fine. I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what in the world is doing this?
If any of you have any ideas or inkling of why this happens I'd be delighted to hear it. Sometime, mid-winter they will stop totally, and I'll not have any until the next late Autumn.
Thanks for any info. you can provide.
Abby
