    Hi Rose, I suffer from urticaria(hives)too and doctor thinks it might be stress related. Put me on Sertraline and because they made me worse(one of the side affects was hives)he wanted to put me on Citalopram.   I weaned myself off the Sertraline and did not take the Citalopram because of side effects I already had.  My skin was feeling leather-like in places and the redness/rash always starts up ;late afternoon.  I found out that some fruits are high in histamine and I was eating a lot of bananas,nectarines, strawberries, plums, nuts and seeds.  These are all high! I now just have my natural yoghurt with blueberries,kiwi, white grapes(not red grapes)as these are all lower in histamine.  Now I do not itch so much but in bed my breasts sting and I have been waking every hour this past week. My skin now is peeling. I started rubbing in twice, sometimes three times a day, coconut oil(bought in jars from supermarkets)now the itch has gone from my elbows, underarms, sides and thighs and breasts.  When out during the day I have never been affected......I dread the central heating coming back on! I spent a fortune on creams and also emollients the doctor prescribed as creams tend to feed hives.  Nothing worked.  Dr has arranged blood tests so hopefully I will know exactly what I do have.  Hives come in many forms, small goosebump rash, red blotches, road map like patches but the peeling is confusing me now.  Cut out red meat too as this is high in histamine, also coffee, alcohol. I eat chicken breasts, white rice and peas, cod steaks in sauce with baked potate and peas and natural yoghurt with fruit.......hope this helps Rose.
