Insect like bites due to CLL

Was there any tx that worked other than topical antihistamines? I was dx with CLL14 years ago and have not needed any tx. This began about 6 months ago.Was there any tx that worked other than topical antihistamines? I was dx with CLL14 years ago and have not needed any tx. This began about 6 months ago.

Advice for 1st Rituximab?

The rheumatologist has instructed that it be done really slowly -minimum 6 hours - to try to avoid another reaction and I know that they are giving me steroid, antihistamines and paracetamol before they start.The rheumatologist has instructed that it be done really slowly -minimum 6 hours - to try to avoid another reaction and I know that they are giving me steroid, antihistamines and paracetamol before they start.

Ongoing allergic reaction... and horrible horrible hives...

Well since then it's only got worse, I was put on antihistamines, then more antihistamines, then steroids and antihistamines as the hives have continued to get worse. On Friday I ended up at hospital with my face swelling - and I now have an emergency epi pen.Well since then it's only got worse, I was put on antihistamines, then more antihistamines, then steroids and antihistamines as the hives have continued to get worse.

Fed up not being able to breathe properly

I've now been using beconase and been given antihistamines to try because I have nasal drip. I'm not sure these are helping either. I've weaned myself off the inhaler.I've now been using beconase and been given antihistamines to try because I have nasal drip. I'm not sure these are helping either.

Rash

I have been taking antihistamines but doesn’t seem to help. No changes in diet or meds recently .Have a doctors appointment this afternoon but just wondered if it could be thyroid related. I currently take 20mcg T3 and 75mcg T4. Thanks for any thoughts JennyI have been taking antihistamines but doesn’t seem to help.

Itchy Scratchy!!

My docs know about it and have given me antihistamines and colestyramine all to no avail. In fact it’s getting worse. Just wondered if there’s anything else available that could help. This is my first ever post here btw. ThanksMy docs know about it and have given me antihistamines and colestyramine all to no avail. In fact it’s getting worse.

Use of Magnesium spray for RLS

I am afraid to take antihistamines to get relief as it will likely activate my RLS . Has anyone had experience with a rash and if there is an oral medication that would help with the rash without driving my RLS out of control.I am afraid to take antihistamines to get relief as it will likely activate my RLS .

Chronic urticaria

My new doctor is far more sympathetic and is trying different antihistamines to see if there’s any help. Today I can’t walk as I have them on the soles of my feet and they are so painful. It’s like walking on open sores even though my skin is intact.My new doctor is far more sympathetic and is trying different antihistamines to see if there’s any help.
