Hives and Allergies

Chelsea
I wanted to share this because I thought I was going crazy for the longest time. I knew I was allergic to something because for the past three years since my first pregnancy ended in mc, I would get horrible hives periodically. I knew my body had changed but I couldn't figure out what the trigger was. I would get hives on my period and after drinking. Then it finally hit me! I was taking ibuprofen when hungover and for cramps. 
Here's the thing I learned: don't go to the ER or urgent care if it's just on your skin. They give you steroids that make you crazy and they send you home. What worked for my hives is combining Benadryl and ranitidine. The pharmacist suggested it as I was at my wit's end before I finally figured out the trigger. Share with anyone suffering from hives!
