Hello all,

I'm new to this site. My story: as of August 12/10 when I first had a morning of hives followed by a night of angiodema in my lip - I have now had many many many bouts of hives and about 5 lip angiodemas. What a nuisance. When it arrives in my lip - I can't go to work. I look deformed. I'm told it is unlikely an allergy to food. But what can be making the cells react this way to produce the histamine which leads to it all? what is the trigger? I'm now worried I will turn into another case of this lasting years and years...and getting worse and worse...are there no other answers out there? Has anyone found what was causeing their uticaria and angiodema? Hope to hear from someone. Thanks.

    Hello, I have been having hives since 8 months now sad and i was told that it is stress that is causing that. However, i was given some food screening test to do as food intolerance may be a factor, but have not done it till now. I take xyzall 5mg evevry 2 days. Dermatologist told me its more frequent for women to develop it. Hope it will go sad

    I also was having these symptoms. My allergist had me on mega doses of antihistamines and prednisone. The minute I finished the prednisone the hives and swelling were back. Yesterday she ordered Zantac and I thought I misunderstood her, but being at my wits end I'll try anything. Woke up this morning without one hive. Can't remember how long that's been.
