Since I was the age of 8, I've broken out in hives as such pictured (exactly). I am now 45 and the problem persist even worse. My doctors do not take me seriously and it is frustrating. When I break out, sometimes I haven't even had anything to eat or drink and they make me feel depressed. I don't know what to do about them anymore. I need help and can't seem to attain any. The tricks that I use to use to ease them no longer helps either. This would be Atarax, Claritin, and Benadryl. Anyone with suggestions or information, please share? My ex-allergist has actually told me that since I've had this condition since a child, that there is probably nothing I can do about it now. She prescribed Atarax and it only puts me to sleep, fast. It doesn't help me at all. All my physicians have given up on me and failed me... So tired of dealing with the itching and discomfort for no reasons.View Thread
