[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 311181, member: 4888"] I started getting hives daily a couple of years ago and had never been allergic to anything at all before. They never did figure out what it was. It was suggested that it might have been an allergic reaction to a virus. You definitely need to see your doctor, since you're having swelling in your face. They should be able to do something for you even if you're not actively breaking out at your appointment. In the meantime, have you tried Claritin? I was put on a combination of 10 mg. Claritin once a day along with 75 mg. of Zantac (although it's used for acid reflux, I was told it is an antihistimine) twice a day. I took the generic for both medications and they worked fine. I had to take that daily for a year and half before I was finally able to discontinue it, but it did help immensely with the itching. I feel for you--the itching is horrible. [/QUOTE]
