Hives

[clevermanka]

Great. My left hand is broken out in hives again. They started sometime Friday and have gotten pretty bad. The back of the wrist is pretty well covered, from wristbone bump to the thumb joint. It itches and it's starting to ache.

I indulged in some sugar this weekend (period = allowance of a bag of Peanut M&M Candies) and I think that might be the culprit, accompanied with the dry weather. Bleaugh. I also had a slight stomachache the whole time. Boo.

Rhuligel eliminates itch. For a "natural" itch suppressant, use oatmeal water. Put a bit of oatmeal in rater. When the water gets cloudy, apply to itch and let dry.

I'm actually going to pick up a package of Aveeno's colloidal oatmeal bath and soak my hands in it. It's been a while since I've done that and someone on another LJ mentioned it.

Oh, waah. Itchy bumps are the pits. It sounds as if you're having a bad allergic reaction to something. One rueful post-birthday realization for me is the knowledge that I really can't tolerate treats very well any more. They become their own punishment! What I really crave today is my healthy breakfast oatmeal. ; ) Feel better soon!

Yeah. It's back to protein and vegetables for me today. Yay!

Did you try the ACV yet? maybe it will help with the histamine reaction.

Haven't made it to the Merc yet. That's on the agenda for later this week.

It's not fair damnit! You should be able to eat shit like every one else! I for one rage against the injustice of your allergy!

Might the peanuts be the culprit?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's possible. Great! Another allergy!

They tend to gather friends, especially if you have a wheat allergy.

Man, that sucks. I hope they are better by now!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think they're getting worse. Yuck.

Well, that ain't right! I'm sorry!
