UGGHHH This itching is driving me crazy!! The week of Thanksgiving I started getting hives on my neck. The following week, they started spreading all across my upper shoulder area. Called LLMD and was told to quit meds and see my PCP if they didn't go away.
Saw PCP last Monday and was given steroid cream to rub on. He said it was not yeast, but an allergic reaction.
I'm still itching. I don't have all hives, but just itching under the skin. I use the cream on the actual hives, and benadryl on the other areas that just itch. You name it, it itches. Can this all be part of a herx??? I have been off the meds for over 10 days now. I see my LLMD tomorrow; hopefully he'll have some answers. I'm also taking baking soda baths that don't seem to help at all.
When I saw my chiro last Thursday, she said that I was a tight as she's ever seen me. She spent quite a long time trying to free up one of my hips, they've both been hurting quite a bit also. Any ideas?
