Common Questions and Answers about Cyclosporin urticaria
restasis
Had silver nitrate treatment x 2. Now am on 1% Cyclosporin, which burns like acid. Nothing has even begun to work.He said the next step was to have ocular surgery where the mast cells are literally scraped off, but he said it's not always successful.
I continue to have extreme photophobia and feel like I have gravel under my eye lids. Please advise as to treatment, as am one miserable and discouraged woman.
There are two other drops like Restasis, xiidra which patients do not like and is very expensive and Cequa which is same medicine as restasis but stronger concentration. Ask you ophthalmologist about Restasis (cyclosporin) think it just became available as generic.
I was diagnosed with cold urticaria seven years ago. I would like to get to know people who has the same allergie.
I have no hives, only swelling of the mouth, coughing and choking if exposed to cold air, air condition, fridge, freezer, drinking cold drinks, etc. I have to use gloves to touch anyting cold otherwise my fingers will swell and get very red, or have broken blod vessels as a results. No medication is working, avoidance is the answer.
Maybe someone out there have the magic answer?

After Feb the SGPT levels shoot up and it was highest of 218/398 on March 22, 2010. it should be also kept in mind that cyclosporin also have a tendency to effect the liver and increase in LFT levels.
s cauterized and have had silver nitrate brushed across the back of both eyes. Now am taking 1% cyclosporin, which burns like fire for about a minute.
Question - has anyone had success in treating this miserable condition? I am so discouraged as feel the photophobia and gritty feeling in my eyes is never going to go away.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ve struggled with allergies all my life (severe eczema, mild asthma, very nasty urticaria) but at the end of last year I had a really bad bout of CFS (or CFS like symptoms) and then early this year my allergies started flaring up terribly. My doctor put me on prednisone which I was on and off for six weeks until I could get to see the allergist who essentially told me my only allergy was dustmites and there was nothing he could do - gave me steroid creams.
My ophthalmologist recently prescribed restasis for dry eyes. I read that cyclosporin can causes cancer. Is this true? Are these drops safe?
Cyclosporin (brand name Atopica) is a relatively new oral medication which can be used as a non-steroid way to reduce allergic skin inflammation and itching. It is helpful in approximately 80% of allergic dogs to control itch. Cyclosporin is given orally daily for 4-6 weeks, then the dose and frequency is slowly decreased to the lowest possible dose needed for comfort.
ve had experience with prednisone and cyclosporin and read about Xolair. I will explain all of them in due time. During my hospitalization the doctors prescribed me with prednisone and it almost seem to work like magic relieving my skin. The skin began to dry out and the itching was completely gone! (I was amazed by this, first time in 20 years I did not feel itchy at all.. I actually almost cried because of it). Later I found out my dermatologist at Brigham wasn't very happy with this.

Both my wife and I have very dry eyes and both of us have been on Restasis (cyclosporin) for years with excellent results. I understand from postings from the UK this is difficult to get there.
He told us to wait till the cyclosporin is stopped. When the cyclosporin was stopped, we waited for 45 days and had a HCV quantitative done. It was 1420000IU/ML ie 88% less than the last test conducted and SGOT/SGPT levels were 60/109. I had also gone through some articles on HCV which stated that out of 100 people who gets infected, 15 will get rid of the virus without any treatment.
Mine are small red dots primarily, though at the beginning, they were large. Typically now they vary in size, texture, etc. I went online to find out that, in fact, urticaria can be a serious side-effect of Phentermine. I went to my weight loss doctor, and he told me that my urticaria was stress-related. Even though it is a well-documented side-effect of Phentermine, my GP also stated that these hives were idiopathic and possibly stress-related, two diagnoses I can live without.
Does anyone have any experience using Xolair for Chronic Autoimmune Urticaria. My 20 year old daughter has a severe case that started about 10 months ago and has been getting progressively worse over the last 4-6 months. She was completely unresponsive to antihistamines although she continues to take many. She has been on an immune suppressant called cyclosporine that was working fairly well but had to go off quickly due to bad kidney response.
The ER doctor diagnosed me with Herpes Keratitis yesterday. I had been taking Restasis(Cyclosporin eye drops BID) and had many of the symptoms of side effects of that drug including low neutraphils, redness and swelling of eyelids, itching, feeling of foreign object in my eye, pain on administration of drops.
I believe this is a drug reaction not Herpes Keratitis. What do you think?
Has anyone experienced urticaria with sofosbuvir / ledipasvir ( no RBV ) treatment ?
I'm entering week 4
Many Thanks in advance.
It can be seen in patients with urticaria or allergic dermatitis. It is usually seen secondary to exposure to allergen and subsequent reaction is mediated by IgE antibodies. Your body is known to hypersensitive to certain things.
Stinging insects, Aeroallergens (uncommon), Foods and additives like Milk, egg, peanuts, nuts, soy, and wheat are the most common agents to cause such allergic manifestations.
Why does a person who has had 2 children start getting urticaria after taking an antibiotic course of 10 days the third time she takes it? Then next time the doctor prescribes her on another type of antibiotic and then same thing happens, she is okay the first time she has to take it and usually the second but around the second or third time over a course of 3 to 5 years, she gets the urticaria again after taking the same antibiotic that she used for 3 or more years.
there are multiple types of Urticaria where things like sun, cold, and other reactants cause the hivings
Please make sure to type in normal font. Delayed pressure urticaria is a type of chronic hives called physical urticaria because the hives are caused by a certain stimulus on the body. In this case, the stimulus is pressure that's applied to the skin. Delayed pressure urticaria is common. One investigator found that 37% of people with chronic hives had this type of urticaria.
I know the names cold urticaria and cold sore are similar by coincidence and that the cold sores could have originally been caused by the stress of the sudden cold urticaria, but is there any other possible connections between cold sores and cold urticaria or something that could cause both of these? Thank you!
Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise (sometimes called exercise-induced urticaria), heat from the sun (which could also indicate solar urticaria), saunas, hot showers (reaction to water can also indicate water urticaria), spicy foods which may cause an increase in body temperature or even stress due to blushing or anger.
The affected area will often feel warm and can be extremely itchy or exhibit a burning sensation.
Hi,
I think you are having physical form of urticaria. Urticaria occurs usually without any cause, but in some exposure to extreme climates, allergies, physical stimulation of skin have been implicated as the cause for occurrence of urticaria.
You can consult a dermatologist for confirmation by mimicking the stimulus like scratching for occurrence of urticaria. Treatment is with use of antihistamines, topical steroid creams, immunomodulators etc. Take care.
