Hi Jean,
Sorry you had to deal with some hives in your time. The strange thing is, I
never break out from stress. It's just the opposite for me. It seems like
when I'm stressed, they are never around! They would have a pattern. They
would arrive within a half hour of awakening and then another outbreak at
around 3:30 in the afternoon. They would never go away completely. Each
round of them would just add to the one before, it was awful. It seems like
my rosacea started to get bad around the same time. It's strange. I've
been on meds and to tons of docs. Finally with the right combinations, I'm
controlled. Except for the v-beam did trigger them again, but nothing like
before!
Yes, hives are weird!! Glad you are ok.
Ann
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle.
