Connection between PMR and hives or urticaria?
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have been DX'd with PMR for about 14 months now. Am currently on 3 mg of prednisone by prescription but usually take 5 mg just to get through the day. I have now contracted a terrible case of urticaria and hives all over my body and am wondering if the PMR and hives might be related. I just had a DR appointment last month but had not contracted the hives at that time.. No other changes that I can think of. When I was younger I did get hives from seasonal allergies but haven't experienced that in decades. Any thought? Thanks.

Ah, my name.....I've been called Flip since I was 8 - started by primary school teacher. My real name is Felicity - which doesn't suit me AT ALL! It's interesting how you 'grow into' a name don't you think?
Any way, from there it developed into Flip Dover. Pretty funny huh? I use it all the time and have been seriously considering changing my surname to Dover for quite a while as I'm still using my married name despite being divorced for over 15 years. And I don't like my maiden name either.

I suppose one does "grow into" one's name. As a child I was called Connie, when we moved from Oxford to London lots of people called me Con (I hated that)! When I moved to Germany, where I still am - after 44 years - people called me Constance and I am rather 'constant' in what I do.
I've always thought it strange when people kept their old married names - especially if it was an unpleasant divorce (well, I suppose it's always unpleasant)!!!

I have had Hives 3 times since having PMR and preds and am just getting over my last bout which has taken 10 days now to subside. I am sure its down to the steroids as I had never had a problem before.
I usually get it on my upper body and arms but take 2 Atarax anti histamine at night which seems to have helped. I have cut our a lot of wheat and sugar but it still returns on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

You say you have it on your upper body, does they apply to your neck as well, as my neck is affected also my eye lids and lips, i am trying to gather as much information as i can, so that when i see my doctor next time i can tell her.

I dont itch anymore, my eyes are not as puffy, but my lips still tingle, not as often and the cold feeling i used to get all the time only comes on every so often now, my right side of the throat is tender(will tell doc on wednesday)it feels as if there is a lump there, I have taken Fexofenadine for 18 days now, but want to see if i can come off it.
Hope you can get some relieve from it , it is a pain , Please let me know how you go on.
