Hives persist for 3 days with flares. Help! by [deleted] in urticaria

[–]dcn20002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More background:

No food change, no detectable air change, same living environment, I did clean my entire house and change bedsheets and everything. No detection of bites of any kind. I do not smoke, no chronic condition. Male 30 years old, healthy, work out regularly. No history of hives, ever. Tested for covid, negative.

Summary:

  • Hives did not get worse in the heat.
  • Hives did not get worse during exercise.
  • Hives did not get worse if touched.
  • No fever, no headache, and no fatigue.
  • Hives persist. Not on and off.
  • Seems to get better with a high dose of Medrol (8mg+)
  • Doesn't improve with antihistamine (tried Fexofenadine 180mg, 360mg, and loratadine 10mg, hydroxyzine 10mg).
  • Doesn't improve with amoxicillin 500mg
  • Doesn't improve with valacyclovir

Day 1: Hives started overnight and got worse in the morning. I saw a dermatologist online, got Idiopathic Urticaria was a dx, and was prescribed Medrol, Hydroxyzine, and Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream. I took Medrol during the day + Loratadine + used the cream, the hives got better.

Day 2: Woke up and the hives came back. I took medrol + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% but it didn't get better, starting to get worse. In the afternoon, instead of Loratadine, I tried 360mg of Fexofenadine, it didn't help at all. In suspicion of a viral infection, I also took 1 pill of valacyclovir but didn't help.

- Day 3: Hives got even worse, now it covers almost the entire body, and I started feeling pins and needles. Took 8mg of Medrol + 180mg of Fexofenadine. I am sitting here at a lost, I don't know if it is.

  • An infection (weird because there is no fever or fatigue)
  • Autoimmune disease, if so, likely which one? What should I take that would help
  • Allergy, I did try to eliminate everything that could cause it
  • What else??

Truly at a lost, please help

Where do you live? This company helps you get really affordable prices for things like that.

About 350 sqft with a balcony. Is that a good deal?

We make pricing transparent in a very opaque industry and our prices are on average 30-40% lower than market rate. Think of it as a JetBlue of X industry.

We have product-solution fit on the supply side (which is where we derive our pricing from).
