Experiences with

Antihistamines

Hi Folks, In a sudden turn around my dermatologist has said he wants to try me on Cyclosporin for my urticaria and dermographism for 4 months(last appointment before xmas he said 'urticaria is idiopathic. live with it. keep popping the antihistamines, it might go away one day. maybe.').

Hi I am just needing a moan and any advice would be gratefully recieved. My asthma has been horendous to say the least over the last year and am waiting to go to the brompton on the 25th February. Currently i have developed a horrible rash on my face and neck, saw doctor who said it was rosacea and

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago, I'm generally mild and exercise induced, I only use salbutamol and antihistamines as far as medication for asthma. The nurse keeps saying we might put you onto a steroid inhaler but we'll see. So my question is when do you go to the doctors for a flare up?

he said we will get your asthma under control first and then find out what your triggers are . he has put me on some tablets to go with my inhalers i think he said they where called singulair or something like that and to take antihistamines,he has wrote to my gp telling him what going off but he said

Many thanks H Oh PS my current meds are: cetrizine 10mg twice daily (antihistamines) Montelukast (singulair) 10mg once daily seretide 250 inhaler twice daily If I have a reaction: upto 3 piriton tablets (12mg) Epipen every 5 minutes until help arrive salbutamol inhaler salbutamol nebuliser

I need seretide and montelukast monthly, as well as fairly regular ventolin MDI's, spacers, antihistamines etc.... Thanks in advance, Emz

I know when my back itches its a sign my asthma getting worse-Im on regular antihistamines and had addd in piriton but still i itch. I dont use washing powder ive been using eco ball for bout 4 yrs Any ideas? Penny

When I went splat Monday and had oxygen and nebs at Manchester the nurse there put me on antihistamines as not on any and said as I have asthma should be on them as suffer all year round.My asthma consultant and asthma nurse at the severe asthma clinic didnt put me on any so not sure about taking them.The

(it flares up with hayfever) Been told I can't use antihistamines for a week prior to the tests. My hayfever is going mad. It's dreadful and my eyes are so sore. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve antihistamines?

The antihistamines I have aren't working, so I may have to get some prescribed by the GP. I just want to enjoy the sun :(

hi, we (along with our asthma nurse) think our 3 year old has an allergy to cats & dogs. His asthma is usually triggered by colds and viruses however EVERY time we have stayed at either of our parents his nose starts running and he starts coughing all night and his asthma plays up. It then usually lasts

I was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 9, and took a preventer until the age of 14 when I thought I had grown out of it, since the cough and chest tightness was dealt with by the preventer and I had never been given a reliever as never needed it. I had never had hayfever as a child, but over the

my hay fever is playing up. I've been trying both cetirizine and piriton and neither seem to be helping at all. is there anything else which can be bought over the counter, or will I need to see my gp/cons to get something stronger prescribed?

I believe im already on very strong medications (Seretide, atrovent, salbutmol, montelukast and antihistamines) and am really unsure on where they will go next. I'm sick of being on prednislone as its given me awful cramps and puts me in a rather horrid mood!

I had a few acute attacks early on, and it was assumed that this was caused by allergies, so I have been taking meds for that (singulair plus antihistamines). Over the past few months, I've had occasional trouble breathing, without having any serious attacks where I feel like I'm drowning in air.

Hello, I have kids with both asthma and food/nut allergies and I have to carry a bottle of antihistamine everywhere we go, I am therefore supporting this cause that another mum with nut allergic child has set up. If use antihistamine syrup for your child or yourself or even if you just think this is

So I'm on sigulair, zyrtec and phenergan (both antihistamines). I'm in the U.S. and I know over there you tend to use generic names. Anyways, I've been trying acupuncture and Chinese herbs lately which seems to help some with the allergies where the antihistamines have failed.

I left it a few weeks before seeing the doctor and she said I had no wheeze and my chest was clear so was prob just hayfever so gave me some antihistamines. I've never had hayfever before but I do have a blocked/runny nose so I suppose it could be.

Ive noticed that the itchy eyes have gone, itchy throat etc.. but my chest is terrible, It seems to sit straight on my chest now and the antihistamines just dont do anything for it since being diagnosed. (my first hayfever season with asthma). Does anybody here have this problen at all?
