Avatar m tn 50 days later, on December 24, I had hives and angioedema (lips and eyes). I went to see my dermatologist. She diagnosed me with urticaria. She gave me betamethasone and loratadine. The same day, both the hives and the angioedema went away and did not come back. A few days later, on December 29, I had a high fever (102°F / 39°C) and diarrhea. I went to the emergency room, they made an ecography on my belly and a complete blood count.
Avatar n tn The swelling is often severe and is caused by a build-up of fluid. The symptoms of angioedema can affect any part of the body. Many people with angioedema also have another condition called urticaria, which is also known as hives. This is a raised, red and itchy rash that appears on the skin. Angioedema is of four types allergic, idiopathic, drug induced and hereditary. Therapy is based on the cause. Anti histamines from the mainstay of therapy for the symptoms.
Avatar n tn There are two basic types of angioedema.
Avatar f tn In addition to Quercetin, I just received blood test results showing that I have a number of delayed reaction food allergies, my doctor will likely put me on an elimination diet with the hope of successfully reintroducing the foods and eliminating the angioedema, I have had angioedema for 5 months, I am getting to the bottom of it!
Avatar f tn Hi, The treatment of your angioedema depends on the type of angioedema you have. There are several types of angioedema and you may have one of the following: acute allergic angioedema, non-allergic drug reactions, idiopathic angioedema or hereditary angioedema. The swelling occurs when small blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissues leak watery liquid. It is important that you know which type you have for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn s been going on since forever and sometimes I also have shortness of breath and my left arm numbs and ache every now and then. What's wrong with me? Help pls!
Avatar f tn I go to Urgent Care and get steroids before it gets worse. I was finally told I have chronic urticaria and angioedema at the Emergency Room almost 2 months after the first instance and given an Epi-pen. The only allergy I knew of was to sulfa drugs (which I have not taken since I was 16). I went to an Allergist/Immunologist who did skin and blood tests, finding nothing that I am allergic to other than sulfa and a common mold.
Avatar m tn ve been having bad neck and shoulder and shoulder blade pain on the right side for a few months. I have been taking Protonix since May, 40mgs once every evening. Because I'm not getting relief with chiropractic care or anything else for that matter, I started thinking about medication and side effects. The protonix s the only thing that could possibly be the culprit. I went off of it two days ago, took omaprazole instead, and have had a 50% reduction in the pain.
Avatar f tn I too suffer from angioedema and I really struggle to cope i'm 29 and want to try for a baby but am being refused ivf because of this I feel like my life is on hold and my clocks are ticking I don't think anyone ever gets used to suffering with this!!
623944 tn?1244035490 Treatment with levothyroxine caused improvement in the urticaria and angioedema. When treatment was stopped the symptoms returned and then subsided with the continuation of treatment. In the patients without evidence of thyroid antibodies, levothyroxine had no effect. The pathogenic relationship between thyroid antibodies and the chronic urticaria hasn’t yet been determined.
Avatar n tn I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV. She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Avatar f tn (The hollow right under your ribs, in your upper stomach) Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise and general aches and pains. For most people symptoms subside within 1-3 days but you're contagious much longer. You can still pass the virus through your stool for 2 weeks or so and it can survive on surfaces for a long time too. Just take it easy, eat bland foods and rest a lot.
Avatar f tn Is it common to have numbness and tingling in the fingers when having an angioedema attack?
Avatar n tn It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Hello, You symptoms are suggestive of angioedema. Angioedema is a disorder that affects the deeper layers of the skin and triggers significant swelling, particularly in the hands, face and feet. Sometimes, angioedema appears in tandem with hives (urticaria). Allergic angioedema occurs when an allergic reaction is triggered by one of many common allergens like pollens,dust mites,molds,certain foods,environmental factors like cold,heat etc and insect bites.

338416 tn?1420045702 When I visited with the MS specialist, I mentioned my odd angioedema - whenever I got an injury to the face (usually either the dog bumping me in the lip, or biting my tongue) and the phlebitis in my leg. I also talked about the blood clot I had just recovered from. She went ahead and got a test for lupus anticoagulant, which was positive. Now, those people who test positive for the lupus anticoagulant don't necessarily have lupus.
Avatar f tn Every day since I went to the hospital to get checked out I was found out with gastroenteritis and 1 week later taking pills it went away. Now ever since then I've been going to the bathroom and what I've. Noticed is that my poop is yellow and floats. I think I may have malabsorption but I'm not to sure. I'd go to the doctor but my parents wouldn't wanna take me as I had gone to the doctor 4 weeks ago. I'm 14 and I'm overweight for my age. I'm 210 Pounds.
Avatar f tn I know 2 unrelated women with hashimoto's thyroiditis and chronic hives/ angioedema. They both take Zyrtec and have taken a cocktail of different antihistamines over time (Atarax, Allegra, benadryl, etc) and steroids . They say the hives are pressure-related so you should avoid any tight fitting clothing (especially with elastics - nylons, bras, etc)and massages. Heat seems to make them worse too.
Avatar f tn We have gone to several doctors, they say she has idiopathic angioedema. One time she even had a problem with her breathing, she was at school and the nurse had to administer the epi-pen. She got immediate relief and was taked by ambulance to the hospital. The doctors now say she is also idiopathic anaphlactic(sp?). Any way she has been put on a number of meds, steriods, zantac, hydroxine... She was having 2-3reactions a week back in Jan.
Avatar f tn Did your doctor test your thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb)? Here is a study on hereditary angioedema and these thyroid antibodies (thyroid microsomal antibodies is another term for TPOAb). "Sera from 91 patients with hereditary angioedema were screened for thyroid antibodies. The results for the 77 patients more than 17 years old were compared with previously published data for the prevalence of thyroid disease in a large community (Whickham).
Avatar f tn I've been having Urticaria for 2 months now. I never know where they will be day to day, but I'm miserable. Along with the hives I have swelling. Lips and around the eyes in the morning. Most embarrasingly though is angioedema down below. It is the worst itch and pain. I know it's angioedema because it coinsides with my face swelling. So awful. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
