Hives

My drugs are very different from yours but I’m a sensitive soul that develops hives easily. Washing powder is a biggie with me along with certain body washes and if the cat kneads any skin then that takes days to die down. Could it be anything external? We are all very different, but it does get you down! Hope you find your cause soon. If it was the atorvastatin wouldn’t it have gone after a break of 4 weeks?

If you've ruled out a change of washing powder, new clothes etc, it could be to do with 'a filler' in one of your medications. Do the hives get worse so many x number of hours after taking one of your tablets? The only way to rule this out is to explain your hives to your chemist and ask for a different brand of one of your medications. If that doesn't help, try the next medication/different brand etc.

I was covered in hives that kept getting worse, and used this method to identify the culprit. With 2 of my meds I can't take a generic brand for this reason, only the brand name tablet.
