Welcome, Edith king. It's good to have you here at AAFA1  I hope you'll join in the several topics on Hives running in the Skin Conditions Support forum.

I. Have been dealing with hives a few years i was taking 2 zyrtec a pepcid and d3 in morning 2 zyrtec n pepcid at night but now nothing helps any help please

Shea, hugs on the hives! It sounds like an extremely frustrating situation!

Touching a dog or cat--or even being near a cat outside-- causes my skin to break out in hives and worsens many asthma. There is dander in places I am unaware of, and exposed skin on my chest is typically always irritated. I wish people would stop bringing their dogs into stores, it is very stressful for me as is, but when I have to wait in line with a person with an animal I am highly allergic to... Honestly, I leave the store. And it ius not fair because I need to grocery shop, and it ius no seek ng eye dogs, it is stroller dogs... There has gotta be a way the person can not bring these types of dogs into food stores or medical buildings. I do not feel I should have to take all these medications with side effects so people can bring pets with them indoors everywhere... But I will consider tbis new medication because I do not want go be kicked out of stores by dogs taking over the world.

Uniquelyme, I'm glad the meds are working. You're right, having hives IS an awful feeling. I can't explain the burning itch when I break out in hives -- it's different than almost any other kind of itch. 

I do suffer from Hives but it is a few times a year.  Mine is due to allergies and they get the size of a dime and a quarter.  I just recently went to the dr and she prescribed a cream that is working to get the hives to go down.  It's an awful feeling and mine occur in the weirdest places.
