Had them for 10 years. Allergic reactions to foods, heat, stress... Eat a food one day & be fine; eat the same food the next day and get hives! Work up a sweat; get hives. Increased stress; get hives.
My allergy specialist seems to think the sleeve surgery may help with the Hives by cutting out a portion of the stomach to eliminate some histamines. I feel like I own stock in the Benadryl company with the amount of pills I take daily. Also using an EpiPen, but hate the way it makes me feel...my heart races. If I can just cut back on the amount of antihistamines I do take for hives it will be a blessing.
Losing weight is icing on the cake. The surgery is a package deal... eliminate some histamines, loose weight, help with arthritis, reduce medicine intake and a better me ...
Anyone out there besides me have urticaria?
