Default Please Help - I'm Desperate!

Okay, anyone please tell me any tricks you know for getting rid of the itchiness of hives and allergic reactions generally b/c I am going totally They don't know what I'm allergic to, I have no known allergies other than a major sensitivity to alcohol.

My symptoms are: hives from head to toe literally, swollen joints (feet/ankles, knees and hands), throat swelling up, lips swelling up and eyes swelling up.

I've tried Benedryl, reactine, and a prescription thing....nothing is working!! I'm so tired from not sleeping....anyone have any ideas for me??? please

Thanks

Yes please.
Seriously that sounds pretty bad.. I'm assuming you tried doing the allergy tests and nothing came back as positive? That's weird..

Have you changed wash detergents lately? This is something that some people are very sensitive to. On a note Do you actually do wash?

No I haven't Sweetj.....I'll have to check that out. I'm assuming it is a prescription drug?

I had this 2.5yrs ago and all they could call it was "Angioademia" and "Acute Autoimmune Uticaria" - basically they don't know

Did you have your wedding yet sweetj?
