Hi... I just wondered if anyone has had an issue with chronic hives as perhaps being caused by the auto immune reaction of your body & MS. Four yrs ago I had shingles which comes from a latent effect of childhood chicken pox & since I have had chronic hives with no relief from allergy immuniology shots. I use benedryl constantly.Last year I got the MS diagnosis after having various symtoms but culminating with the lesions shown on the MRI.My doctor hasn't seen any other person with hives.Just curious if there is anyone else ot there.

Thanks for responding! If you find out any info on the hives please let us know. I haven't used Caladryl but do steadily use Hydrocordisone.I guess our MS bodies are so sensitive to reactions-heat,cold,pressure,etc that the hive reaction and angiodema isn't that odd when you think of it...but man,living it really is annoying and frustrating.Bless you all & keep smiling....View Thread
Thanks for responding. I guess I can't say its good to know of others dealing with this because it all really sucks and I'm sorry you can't take any injections. I do but have the red site reactions that just adds more technocolor ! You gotta have a sense of humor !View Thread
Hi Pam...I don't know your age so I don't know if what I say to this is relevant for you.First I do think the MS has an effect on the libido but then I am older & I know that in itself has an effect.And because we do love our spouse we must make extra effort....I'm sure (I know for me) that it's worth while.Sex is so much in the "head".I hear what you're saying about not really caring about it but you also said that makes you feel terrible. MY personal feeling or "fear" is that if he doesn't get it here he will go elsewhere and that's not what I want.So you know they are easily pleased with sex and maybe I'm not doing it "wholeheartedly" but I'm making the effort. So I guess what I"m saying is yeah-it sucks how MS takes so much away but try girl!View Thread
