I just don't learn

I still haven't been to the doctors but I'm sure I'll have to this weekend. On Sunday night I took my last dose H1 blocker and thought since I was feeling so good I'd wait and see how I went. I still had some H2 blocker left, but low and behold Monday night they start creeping back. And Tuesday morning full-blown as if I had never taken any anti-histamine.
I went to the chemist and talked to him about something stronger again and I was given Phenergan, which is promethazine. It has been brilliant, once a day dose at bedtime, although that day I took one at lunchtime when I bought them and then again that night at bedtime. They don't affect me with the drowsiness, they never have as this is the product that I used when I was a child.
Right now though I am fairly confident that it's my Pill setting me off as it is the only constant exposure that I continue to have, despite the fact that the hives didn't kick in until a month after I started taking it.

Did I take photos?

No, silly me. Just a random thought I had.

The hives keep coming

The Hives keep coming with ones on the soft fleshy part under my upper arms mostly affected by two or three and above and below the rear of my knees with a half dozen or so each leg, that just seem to be moderately repeatedly affect. But my upper thighs on the front and between my legs just seem to have a new serious flush still 4-6 times a day.

Promising me, promising you, I will get to the Doctor eventually.

Resuming itchiness

Well I've been thinking I'm updating from Google, but it appears not to be working, so you've missed some unimpressive repetitive days.

On NYE I had my last dose of my H1 blocker. But feeling good I didn't worry about getting to a Chemist before 5pm. The next morning was hell. The H2 blocker is good but doesn't work by itself. So frantically I searched the Net on New Years Day looking for someone open, finally locating a Chemist about 30 minutes dive away. With Fexofen not working the Pharmacist suggested Dexchlorphen a 12 hour acting agent with sedative effects.

We are now back on track with the itchiness, only recurring in the hour coming up to taking my next dose. But the hives are still coming up cyclically about 4-6 bouts a day, noticeable by their inflamed look.

Still yet to see the Doctor, will do so eventually but just can't get myself there at this stage.

According to my Mother however, she believes since coming off Depo and going on the Pill I have slowly been returning to a constant grumpy, irritated mood, which she believes is not the hives, but a replica off how I was before I went on Depo, so she thinks hormonal. She's not happy, saying it's reminiscent of 24/7 PMS. So another thing to mention to the Doctor.
