Hi there,

I'm writing this on behalf of my mother. I'm living in Taiwan and she came to visit me in July. During her time here she was okay - the only thing she noticed was a prickly feeling on her cheeks some of the time but she attributed that to the heat.

She has been back in New Zealand since mid July and a day or two after she arrived back, she said that she started to get hives. At the time I don't think it was too bad but it has progressed until she has a rash over most of her body, she is unable to sit still, itches non-stop all day which gets worse in the evening.

She said her blood vessels have started to look broken and the lymph nodes under her arms have become swollen and it is hard for her to raise them or pick up anything.

She has obviously gone to see doctors but they haven't given her any firm diagnosis as yet. She has just undergone some tests but the results may not be back for a few days, the weekend is coming up and Monday is a public holiday so she is really starting to worry about having to go through this for at least another week.

I just thought that I would ask here to see if anyone has had similar problems and of course to see if there are any solutions.

She was using Tiger Balm at first to relieve the itching, but says that it is really not helping much anymore.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
hello!! i have the same thing!! you wrote this a long time ago - did you mother ever find out what it was?
thank you!
 
Hi,

I don't want to scare you but it turned out she has non-hodgkins lymphoma (a form of cancer). She's finished 5 round of chemo now and 1 more to go. I hope that's not what you've got but you should definitely see a professional asap.

Thank you Rich. I hope your mother recovers asap. I'm getting checked for lymphoma as of today so thank you very much!
 
For all of those with hives! Aveeno Itch relief cream and Aveeno Colloidal Oatmeal for the bath also help. These products are gentle enough to use often.
 
Sometimes the itching and hives are from hormonal changes during peri and menopause. I would hate to think that all cases are lymphoma. Sorry to those who are dealing with that.
 
Did the rash/hives start under her arms? I went for a chest xray and they found enlarged lymph nodes. I've had night sweats for years, and now I have a TERRIBLY ITCHY red rash under my arms. The doctor says "it probably isn't anything to worry about".
 
Hives or Urticaria caused by excessive production of histamines inside our bodies.
Histamines are a natural response of our system and it means that our body is trying to communicate with us .It is actually a blessing in disguise as our body is trying to warn us and trying to get our attention asking us to make some modification in lifestyle so we can avoid more serious and deadly diseases such as cancers. If we keep ignoring these signals we maybe on our way to bigger health problems. Just suppressing the histamines by taking anti-histamines is not a good approach. You must understand why your body suddenly started to produce more histamines and causing these allergy symptoms.
In most cases of Chronic Urticaria or hives the cause is very simple " Chronic Dehydration".or in simple worRAB “ Chronic shortage of Water inside a body", A groundbreaking research on this topic has done 20 years ago already by a great doctor Dr. F. Batmanghelidj and published in various medical journals but unfortunately this is not a money making deal for many government agencies as well as drug making companies so they rather not discuss about these findings. Imagine what money they are making if people just start curing themselves with plain water. It would be a nightmare for them but fortunately the cure for Hives is simple as it is.
Histamines are part of our immune system and they are responsible for various important tasks in a human body including fighting viruses and bacteria. The one most important task of histamines is water management and regulation inside our system .A human body has a very sophisticated water management system and almost every organ in our bodies neeRAB water to work properly.
Remeraber 75% of a human body consist on water and neeRAB a 2 quart of water daily to perform essential tasks inside our system. This amount of water is essential and every major organ, cell and tissue requires water to function properly, The water we lose through urine, sweating , breathing, skin etc should be replenished and replaced on daily basis. A stable immune system is highly dependable on fully hydrated cells. When the cells are dehydrated your immune system goes haywire and set a perfect stage for diseases, secondly our bodies have a natural detoxification system which will not work properly or entirely without enough water and this will cause all kind of allergies and diseases including cancers.Imagine flushing a toilet with insufficient amount of water it wouldn't work. Same applies to a human body.

Due to modern age lifestyle, Alcohol( major factor) excessive amount of caffeine and other dehydrating fooRAB and liquiRAB used in our daily lives causes a severe drought inside our bodies. This is called " Chronic Cellular Dehydration", When body does not have enough supply of water naturally it releases these histamines to deal with water shortage and you get those hives as well as weird and unexplainable allergies as a result. In medical language it is called “idiopathic" by some idiots.
None of any health problem is idiopathic almost all of the modern age disease are caused by some reasons and mostly it is chronic dehydration.

In a significant majority of patients a heartburn or other stomach ailments can be an initial sign of chronic dehydration and in most cases Urticaria is accompanied by gastrointestinal problems. Acid reflux occurs when stomach does not have enough water to break down the food so it produces more and more acid to dissolve food.This is another topic and i will not go into details here.
Just remeraber taking antacid or PPI ( proton pump inhibitors ) is the worst thing you can do to your body.Try to avoid them as much as possible.


Here is the simple cure for Hives and other chronic ailments.

1. Start the process of rehydrating your body with 8 glasses of pure water per day ( two glasses of water every 3 hrs).
Water is natural “antihistamine”. When your body has enough amount of water it will stop releasing excessive amount of histamines which means no hives.
Juices or any other beverages do not count as water, Use ONLY PLAIN WATER,

2. Stop alcohol, caffeine and sodas. they dehydrate your body . Rehydrating process will not work if you do not eliminate alcohol completely and decrease the intake of caffeine to lowest or eliminate from your diet at all.

3. Use some salt( preferably unrefined sea salt), pinch for a glass or 3 grams for 10 glasses of water.( if you have a blood pressure talk to your doctor before adding the salt to the water).
When you start drinking more water you have more urine output that is why salt is important with more water intake so your body does not get depleted by essential minerals and sodium.
If possible get a good quality mineral supplement and take it on daily basis.

Remeraber your body is dehydrated for years so hydration is not possible in a day or two, Do not rush and Do not overdo it, Go slowly, be patient and persistent, it will take few weeks or so to fully hydrate however you will start to feel the effects in two weeks or so and will be free of hives and allergies completely in 4-8 weeks time plus your body will get rid of toxins and your overall health will improve with fresh and glowing skin.
Give it a try and you have nothing to lose.

For any kind of persistent infections or colRAB you may try Oil of Oregano. it works wonders. Should be of good quality and brand though.

Hope this will help.
