Deborah, Ok, I had two hive experiences in a 4 day period. The first one was under control before going to the hospital by taking dsmo/cs internally (only got 3 big gulps in because I was gagging, it really tastes awful) AND externally. Then I went to the hospital for my shots.
The 2nd when I went off my steroids was severe, but was controlled by external use of dmso/distilled water. What I mean by dousing, lol, is that I stood on the side of the tub and my awesome hubby had about 20 q-tips in a bunch and started applying the mixture vigorously beginning with the really bad areas of the skin. Then he went on to the parts that were most itchy. The funny thing was I had hives all over my face and we forgot to put dmso/distilled water there. They disappeared too. I'm thinking it doesn't have to be internal. If/when this happens again I think I'll follow garnet's suggestion of a washcloth to apply all over the body instead of just the parts that contain the hives. I've been researching and I think I'm coming up with new allergies due to a small hole in my intestine which allows these additives into my bloodstream of which are then attacked. My plan is to start a parasite cleanse starting with DE (diatomaceous earth), MSM (it's helped me fix problems before), vitamin C, and coral calcium. I have to help my body heal itself. I also have these cool water and energy cards that do some pretty neat healing things. I'll know if this regimen works for me if I can go SIX months without an attack. I'm generally in the hospital every 3-4 months with a new allergy. (We think it's a new allergy when the allergy process begins 3 or more hours from the time of eating the offending food accompanied by a lot of abdominal pain vs. hives showing up 5-15 min after eating the offending food additive). I will never be caught again without dmso. This time around I still had to have steroids, but I'm sure I could have done without them if push came to shove. I also wasn't terrified this time because I had power over the reaction. It was a wonderful feeling! You might want to google dmso, allergy. On one of the pages I read that dmso is an antidote to allergic reactions. Very interesting reading. Hope this helps!
