I have had hives for over 4 months, the doctors keep giving me different pills but they don't know what to do. I am fine for 2 weeks then next day I wake up covered in red patches and white lumps. Of course the itching start and I am depressed. I am tired all the time and sleep half the day.
Anyone suffering the same ? what do you do?
Heidi
I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this. If you'd like to learn more about clinical trials as an option, I would speak with your doctor, and feel free to explore the various posts labeled "Education before Participation," which provide lots of great information about clinical research and clinical trial participation.
Hello Heidirose,
There are many potential causes for your symptoms, I have a condition that upsets my immune system causing similar reactions, but it took many tests at a major research hospital to sort out the things that trigger the reaction.
If your current doctor keeps just treating the symptoms (likely using steroids to suppress your immune system) you should consider seeing an expert doctor at a research hospital. That is usually where clinical trials are offered, the subject of this group.
Certain type of chemos give this type of side Not getting relief, maybe you should see a dermatologist Many of the big cancer centers have an Oncology Dermatologist on board
My daughter has an allergy to the sun. When she goes out in the sun for any length of time she gets hives for days. Some medications can also cause sun sensitivity. Pay attention to whether or not these events are happening after being outside. Sorry for your discomfort!!
