In most of the cases of chronic urticaria, the underlying pathology is idiopathic i.e. it is not linked to any cause. It is essential to rule out the presence of serious illnesses of which recurring hives can be a symptom. Examples are hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, lymphomas, collagen vascular diseases etc. The most potent antihistamine for urticaria is probably the anti-depressant doxepin.

Good luck to you!!

I'm on 110mg's of liquid methadone and have to go to the clinic twice a week because I have 5 take home days.

Avatar f tn So, uncontrolled anxiety and stress are risk factors for heart health issues. When you are anxious, you release a lot of hormones that circulate and accumulate if it happens frequently. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2020/02/04/chronic-stress-can-cause-heart-trouble While you don't have high blood pressure now, enough stress over time can lead to it. That can lead to heart attack. Also, when stressed, we sometimes don't take great care of ourselves.

Avatar n tn Thank you for your reply. 've never had any radiation or chemo for the leukemia. I should have mentioned that. I really am afraid of the gadolinium effects because of everything I've read - including posts on this site. At some point, I'll have to make a decision if it's worth taking the risk. Thank you, again, for your reply. I appreciate the time you took to do it.
Avatar n tn Even though I kept myself looking as healthy as possible (or so I thought) I was killing myself with stress,anxiety,and of course the drugs. So I guess my message is.. it will only work for you, if you HONESTLY want it to work. You have to be honest with yourself and be ready to accept the positive changes that can and will occur for you if you accept the methadone as a tool that you have with you at all times..
Avatar m tn t directly cause folliculitis as such, is it possible that someone with chronic stress and raised cortisol levels would find it much harder to shake off a case of mild folliculitis? Perhaps even be more susceptible to infection in the first place? Mine seem to be clearing with help from anti bac soap and hydrocortisone after. This is fine, but in 100% healthy people it seems that it should resolve on its own within a couple of days.
