Poll, what do you use for Hives

[helen1207]

i realized it not just me but a lot of patients with Hashi have hives from time to time. do you take any medicine for that? if so what? i am taking Claritin, sometime it helps, sometimes it doesn't

I carry bendryl with me everywhere I go.
I have never tried the liquid, but I will now.

I also carry an Epi-Pen

Zyrtec over the counter for me.  Benadryl makes me too sleepy and I cant do that when Im working.

My two daughters carry Benadryl strips with them (melt in your mouth) and also Epi Pens .... oral steroids are given by docs, too.

Benadryl topical cream helps somewhat, but not when bad.

I take benadryl and carry an epi-pen in case it gets really bad since I'm also allergic to soy.  

painter64:  I didn't know that liquid benadryl worked faster...I'll switch...thanks for the info:)

I get them bad and ended up in the hospital, I take benadryl the liquid  {Dr said that works faster then the tablets.} If I start to get one or two then I start taking the liquid and usually take another dose about 2hrs. from the first dose. I notice its worst right before the time of mo. something linked to the hormones, also get if I have gone into hyperthyroid. If I don't wait too long after the first couple come out I can get control over it if I start the benadryl.
