I've done a lot of research, and I'm convinced this is angioedema caused by a combination of stress and pressure. The itching and swelling knots always first appear on my feet where my shoes rub, but they also usually occur at more stressful times.
I will add that I had several idiopathic (no known cause) cases of hives as a child, a strange case of itchy hands when I was a college senior preparing my senior exhibit, and a swollen uvula, diagnosed as an allergic reaction to an ACE Inhibitor drug I had just started taking. So, it appears to me to be something I am prone to ave, for some awful reason.
My concern s how to treat it. Benadryl, anti-itch creams don't seem to work. I can barely walk when the Kent's are very bad. Has anyone discovered a treatment that works?View Thread
