Hello there,
Welcome to the allergy forum. I see you joined Med help this month.
You say you have taken the xyzal tablets for 5 years. That's a long time
to be taking a medication. Here is what I would suggest. I would make
an appointment with the doctor who prescribed the xyzal tablets for you.
I would tell your doctor what you just shared in your post. That if you do not take the tablet for more than a day, you experience itchiness all over your body especially on your arms and legs.
After 8 months of constant hives, lip swelling, eye swelling and finger swelling, i went to an allergist and got prescribed Xyzal. It worked great for the first 2 weeks and i was over joyed to have my life back! But the past few days, some hives have started to come back. I have been taking benadryl along with the xyzal as needed. I was wondering if I could take 2 xyzal a day instead o 1. The only other medication that I am on is ortho cyclin birth control.
I have been dealing with hives since 2000. All i have to do is be in the sun and i break out. I have tried Zyrtec, Allegra, Singular and now i'm on Xyzal. The Xyzal i only tried one time and woke up the next morning feeling like i was drunk and hit by a train. It left a horrible taste in my mouth. I am so sick of these hives. I'm getting married in August and have a terrible farmers tan and i am asking for any advice on what to do.
Over 5 weeks ago, I took XYZal for 4 days to help with Fall allergies. Shortly after I stopped taking XYZ-al, I started itching all over my body. I went to my dermatologist. she narrowed it down to the allergy medication. Has anyone experienced this reaction? It has been 5 miserable weeks....I am on hydroxyzine pills which make me sleepy so I can only take at night to relieve itching/pinching. I have used multiple lotions. I called manufacturer who really were no help.
Hi. I have been suffering since June, over 2 months. Last November I had endoscopic sinus surgery to clear my sinuses and deviated seputum fixed. I was great for 7 months! Then in June I got a sinus headache and my life has not been the same. I have been to the family doctor, the ENT, allergies and now I am going to a neurologist. My symptoms are burning sensation in cheeks leading to ears and teeth.
Please help! I've had a low grade fever ranging from 99 to 101 for a year. It is every single day. Sometimes ibuprofen and tylenol won't break it. I've had labs for past year even including arthritis panel, hepatic panel, inflammation and your basic labs. Thyroid, even T3 and T4 tested for thyroid storms. I just recently had a CT of head and sinus, which revealed enlarged ventricles hut that was said to be genetic. Everything comes back normal.
I have been on 4 rounds of different antobiotics, nasal sprays,mucinex dm, xyzal,delsem, robitussin, prednezone and I also take protonix for gerd. Nothing seems to work I am 37 years old and for the most part have been healthy. I had a chest X-ray last May 07. showed nothing then. Should I be worried.
I know this is old, but I am just curious if you ever figured out what was wrong? I have such a similar situation, almost exact, and I am looking for any advice or guidance. Thanks!
Ask you doctor about the Cymbalta one. I had one but it was only for one month. And there are really good one for Xyzal, Astepro and Omnaris. The others, I don't know. Skmedlin's advice was good.
cereva) and avoiding his food allergies, but he is still extremely itchy. He is taking xyzal 1cc every 8 hours. It seems to come and go on his own. Is there any safe product for infants to help with the itching. Is Sarna Sensitive safe? some drs say it is ok, some say it isn't safe for babies. Thanks so much.
PS is allergic to oats--so oatmeal baths are out!
I had a hives breakout on my neck today, I tried anti histamine cream and that did very little. I was desperate and I reached for tiger balm. I used to use it for itchy mosquito bites. I put a bit all over my neck, ONLY A LITTLE! It started burning but within 5 minutes the hives had reduced considerably, the rash and redness completely GONE, I am in so much relief right now. I've never heard about anyone else trying this, but it worked for me.
No one can figure out what it is. I have taken everything from Benadryl, Xyzal, Zrytec, Singulair, Claritin, and Hydroxyzine. Nothing has worked. They have done blood work for lupus and many other blood tests. All came back negative. They have started taking me off one drug at a time, now I am only on Xyzal, Singulair and 2 Hydroxyzine HCL 25 daily. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do or suggest what my doctor may need to test for. The only known allergy I have is fish.
I hear your pain and am sorry for the health issues you have had to face. Had a very bad reaction to the H1N1 vacc and have been posting over on Chap. 2 and the Path to Recovery...it has been a nightmare for many. I have been flat on my back for 6 weeks and counting...
I have read stories about the same reaction as you - hives and serious allergy like symptoms. Hope you are better now.
Hello, you're impatient aren't you!
1) No, you're HIV negative
2) No
3) Thats just plain silly
4) You're not HIV positive. You do not need to test again
5) No
6) Of course
7) If you are concerned about other STD test then ask your clinic to test for the routine ones. I don't believe from what you say that there is anything significant wrong with you.
8) No.
