oy my week has just not been going well! I've been itchy the last few days. Now its full blow terrible hives with swollen hands. My entire body itches like crazy. I'm thinking its the new medication I'm on, been on it for a couple weeks but just upped the dose (doubled) two days ago, which is when all this started!!

I agree with CES, Rain. Sounds like a drug allergy, and you don't want to deal with anaphylaxis! Any time a patient gets a rash while taking a medication, they usually stop the medication immediately!
Yeah I stopped taking it and am waiting for a call back, the office isn't open til 9 and I didn't call til like 330 yesterday cuz that's about when it started getting worse to where i couldn't' deal with it. Needless to say I didn't sleep much. I took some benedryl too, hopefully it helps!
it seems to. I can bend my fingers a bit easier! Its weird I NEVER get reactions to stuff, only thing I'm allergic to other than this is dry cleaning stuff, apparently allergic to the residue or something, does similar things to me
Hope you feel better, rain!
Morning, ladies! I'm watching safari this morning, cup of coffee, granola and coconut milk. Delicious!

Thanks 
Just got off the phone with the doc office. They said to stop the meds take benedryl til the hives are gone, and moved my appt up to the 15th. I don't think she believed me that its from the meds but I eliminated all other possibilities. The day before this all started I was cleaning but I've taken 3 showers since then, so I shouldn't be having hives still if it was something I touched or kicked up.

Boy do I see a lawsuit! Did you speak to a Dr. or was it a nurse or maybe it was an office worker dispensing medical care...
I have a couple of medical related allergies. (I never know which med will trigger it until it does). when I start swelling up and break out in hives, I head to the energency room, before my throat closes!

I didn't even think of that I've never had a real allergic reaction except localized hives to dry cleaning stuff (when I put on something that's been dry cleaned I swell and break out)
I also have minor allergies to dust (good reason for Mike to dust...lol) and hay fever. I break out in localized hives..yucky but no biggie. But when it's meds, that can't be washed off, it just needs to work it's way out. Benedryl is what they will give you at the hospital (IV)..but they also watch to make sure it it working and to provide emergency care if you start to choke or have heart problems.
Its moved to my legs. its like a bloody traveling circus of itchiness. BUT i can bend my fingers today! Just gotta remember don't itch.... and try not to scream lol
