I have had hives off and on ever since I was a little girl and my grandmother used to pack me in ice. The ONLY thing that ever worked for me was the very LAST resort back then, but was to get a cortisone shot. I had to suffer a long time before they would even consider this, and then I would be well for a long time.

I've had hives off and on since February of this year, but just recently my hives have been worse than I've had them in years. At first I thought it was my Blue & Gold Macaw that I bought in November 2007, but I've had birds for the last 30 or more years of my life, and then I thought it could be the Zoloft I got off of and started taking again after 4 mos., perhaps I'll never know what it was that caused it this time. I am glueten-intolerant, so I don't eat anything with wheat or flour in it.

I feel like I've been in HELL the last 7 days with HIVES! I've taken mega doses of Benadryl and Zertec, taken tepid oatmeal baths, ice packs & more ice packs, boiled mint, oregano, basil & echinacea leaves with tea and still no relief. I went to bed last night with ice packs under my butt and on the tops of my feet, my hands looked like "catchers mitts" and hurt beyond words can describe. I've cried a MILLION tears...the pain of the itching has been so unbearable that I thought I would rather die than go through another minute of this personal hell! I went to an Allergist today and finally got the famous steroid shot, and he gave me 5 days worth of Prednisone pills (to take 2 each day). The hives started dissipating, but then they showed back up tonight. The hopelessness started returning. Finally, I remembered my friend telling me that Oil of Oregano was a miracle oil so I started spreading it all over my arms, where the hives were the worst and within 15-20 minutes the hives were gone from my arms! I have to say that I also took another Prednisone pill during this time, but don't think it could have worked as fast as it did, so I really believe there is something to this Oil of Oregano I bought at Whole Foods! I wanted to share this with all those people out there who are suffering from this hidious rash that is dibilitating for some of us. It is my worst nightmare when it comes on! After trying Atarx and the 5 day Dose Pak twice in a couple mos. time, Allegra 180, Zantac, Zertec, Claritan and God only knows what else, I would never have believed that this Oil would be my saving grace! God bless all of you out there who are or have experienced this. I hope you are able to get some relief, as I finally have.

Thanks, Joe and Vered, for coming to my mini pity party! I'm pretty miserable. ;) It's hard not to get grumpy when everything just itches and burns! You know, going through stuff like that is 10x harder as a mom and working!

Wow. I am so sorry you had to go through this! I'm glad you're feeling better. Chances are, it was a one-time thing. At least I hope so!

Oh, poor girl! I hope you'll find the source of the hives. Tina got a temp case of it after eating soft shell crabs. Her whole body and face was blotched for a while, but it went away after her body recovered.
