HIVES.

Stress related Hives.

Who gets them, how often do you get them, how long do they last & how do you get rid of them? Oh .. and how do you know for SURE they are stress related?

Thanks in advance.

I had 'em once. I never actually broke out in a rash, but I itched everywhere. It went on for a few days.

I get them all the time. I have no idea how to make them go away, I usually have to wait it out. And I have to use a lot of lotion on them because if I itch them ou of nerves they begin to itch for real and its maddening.

My dr said theyre stress related because I have a lot of stress, the hives show up more often in relation to my stress level and we cant attribute the hives to any of my allergies

I've been getting them at least once a week for the last 6 months. I chalked it up to being pregnancy related, but my son is 3 months now. Though I am back to working full time again. And I guess I'm kinda stressed out about my cases at work, but the hives will come out of the blue. Suddenly I'll be itching and I'm like gosh darnit, I usually get them on my forehead, by my eyes, or my neck. And I get so red and splotchy. The hives go away but the red blotchiness remains for a few hours.

Yep. It sucks. I get them on my legs, butt and back. Sometimes on my face.

I didn't really think I was THAT stressed out, but I don't think it could be anything else, I have some food allergies but from what I noticed it doesn't happen after eating anything specific.

Have you tried benadryl?

Quoting C'est la vie:" Have you tried benadryl?"

No, I'm breastfeeding and didn't think it was safe to take?

I got them today, and I wasn't even AT work. I was on call. I hate not realizing what exactly I'm stressed about. LOL. How annoying when that's basically my fkn job. Silly body.
