Are you sure what you have are HIVES? Hives last temporarily, can usually have a white pustule in the middle that pops or else they disappear within a matter of minutes or hours.
It sounds like you're taking a lot of drugs and steroids have a negative effect on your immune system. If you're also suffering from STDs, your immune system may be further weakened.
Also, do you smoke? Perhaps your hives could be caused by the toxins in cigarette smoke? It could also be that your hives may really be a kind of fungus- red, raised, staph looking infections, primarily yeast infections of the skin that can be transferred if you have pets, like dogs or cats.
Hives typically resolves itself in a couple of hours. However, if you have some skin infections that resembles hives but may actually be something else- like a yeast or staph infection. I've seen lots of these cases when I was undergoing residency.
The supplements you can take that might help if the above conditions are true for you are:
iodine supplements
iodine simultaneous inhibits the growth of fungi, bacteria and virii and will probably clear up your acne.
Im pretty sure its hives,chronic uticaria the medical term i think...
and they come out mostly at night,disappear within minutes or hours,and sometimes i wake up with a few and they go away quickly...
Actually i just took the few drugs for my hives,otherwise i dont and i have never taken any drugs,i avoid them as much as possible...the only other thing im taking now is a gel for a tongue thrust,mycosis,and im hoping that will pass at least so i can stop taking that too...
Std's i have Herpes for 3-4 years now since my first outbreak,i dont get outbreaks anymore though,but i have genital warts for almost 6 months now and of course HPV that cause the warts,i got the warts burned once but they all came back,and im getting aldara in a week for the warts and hope it works...
I smoke alot,have been smoking since 13 yrs old,and im 21 now,but i never got anything before bcuz of this,and ive been smoking the same cigarettes for years so i dont think they could cause this from one day to another,but who knows...
It could be that my hives are fungus,bcuz i started getting hives,and 1-2 weeks later i got tongue thrust,mycosis,fungus whatever...and no i dont have any pets
thanks for your answer victoriasgarden,i hope so too...

Questions for you:
1. Have you ever been on prolonged anti-biotic treatment?
2. Do you come into contact with harsh chemicals in the environment every day, (eg, bleach, cleaning chemicals, photographic developing chemicals, solvents etc)
3. Do you have chronic vaginal yeast infections?
I am prone to think you might have a yeast infection of the skin because you simultaneously got mycosis a week later. What it looks like can vary from person to person, but I think steroid therapy will only make your symptoms worse in the long run.
Of course, it's hard to say without examining your skin, but I think if you do have a candida skin infection, and then the drug flucanozole along with a topical anti-fungal gel or lotion might relieve you of your symptoms.
Also smoking cigarettes and drinking sugary drinks will aggravate the fungal condition. Perhaps your "hives" come out at night because you tend to smoke during the evenings? These are all things to consider. Sometimes people don't have symptoms for years because they previously didn't have the condition before, but a multitude of factors can trigger and aggravate a skin condition, and one of them is smoking.

ok,friend
1. No never (if you consider now for the tongue only)
2. no,the only chemicals i come into contact are the usuall stuff that everyone comes into contact,and stuff i have always been coming into contact with...after the hives i changed my shampoo,soap,and all that i got naturall stuff,but the answer is no...
3. im a male,no vagina
i think i agree with you about the steroid making it worse,i wont do anymore of that,and maybe i do have a yeast infection i dont know (i just surely dont have any vaginal yeast infections as im a guy :P )
again i dont know what i have but im not taking anymore pills,not am i putting the lotion and i was perscribed one along with the pills,i just decided to not buy it,i dont want to treat symptoms,i want to treat the cause.
drinking sugary drinks,for the past month i have stopped all Sugar intake,i use honey and agave(does it matter? bcuz they too are sweet???) but before that i used to live off sugar,Every day,All day,Sugar and crap food basically,since Ever...i never had a problem,absolutely nothing...
smoking yes since ive been 13,and now im 21,and i smoke alot (im trying to cut down but its not really working out) :/ I smoke All day Every day,not only at nights...
Basically i have health problems,but the last problems i got go like this
6 months ago genital warts
1,5 months ago hives
1 month ago tongue mycosis,thrust,fungus,i dont even know for sure
i already had herpes for 3 yrs more or less before that...
i think,i suspect,maybe,i hope that hives and tongue problems are caused by the hpv,maybe a war within me,my immune system fighting the HPV,and my body just freaking out bcuz its one hell of a fight...
btw a month and a half ago i burned the warts at my derms office,they all came back,and now they even hurt a bit (at a spot where theres many of them together,the same spot i used to get herpes outbreaks,the last herpes outbreak i got it some 4 months ago,but for the last 2 yrs theyve been mild and rare for me...)
sorry for such long posts,i hope you people have the nerves to read through it,and may god bless you for helping me out and answering to me,i am forever in dept
First of all rest assured that it is not fungus. Fungus does not come and go at night.
You have experienced the direct repressive action of steroids. They do not cure. They only repress. If they do seem to cure it is only because the reduction of infammation they provide allowed the body to facilitate its own detox. They are useful in certain situations and can be life saving at times. They need to be used judiciouly.
But in your case you need to find out what is aggravating your body. I would first start by looking at your behavior and environment at around bedtime. What are you coming into contact with that could be causing this? Soaps, lotions, linens, or perhaps foods or drinks that you take late in the day? Obviously what ever it is is detoxed by morning until you come into contact with it again for the next outbreak in the latter part of the day. Ive. even heard of people allergic to their mattress, no not dust mites, their actual mattress.. so you will have to do some critical exploration. It would be good to know if this happens to you when you sleep elsewhere.
Hives do not necessarily have a white spot in the middle. Again refer to the photos I posted earlier. Most cases I have seen do not have the white spots... and I've seen a lot of hives over the years.
Aldara can cause hives. Could it be that?
MMS should take care of HPV. You should look into it.

From my research about the hives at night,basically the body gets in ''sleep mode'' and bcuz of that it stops producing high levels of some substance which is like an anti-itch chemical...and thats why the hives come out strong at nights...
yes the vaccine or steroids repressed the hives,you were right all along (and i was hoping you warent and that the hives wont come back :/ ) ,and i dont plan on taking anymore drugs bcuz i dont want to repress any simptom,i want to cure stuff,besides as you said the injection or pills dont just repress the hives,they weaken my immune system,and i imagine a few more side effects too,like acne,and who knows what goes on inside me which i havent felt yet so no more pills...for the hives
honestly i dont think its something im coming into contact bcuz i got the hives Before i started changing my lifestyle to healthier,and nothing was changed around the house either,detergent,washing products,nothing,it was all the way its been forever...
the only difference was that i went to france and holland(cold weather) for 17 days,and when i came back i went to the beach straight away (hot weather),that night i got really drunk i had a blackout,and the next day i started getting hives (and the day after that i had an appointment with my dermatologist to have my genital warts burned,causterization and i was stressed about that,but i am chronically stressed anyway)
i have been having the same matress for years so i cant imagine that beeing the problem,and when i got the hives i ate what i have been eating since always,nothing new whatsoever...
i have also slept elsewhere for 2-3 days to see if it change anything,and it didnt really...
yes my hives dont have white spots in the middle,neither did any pictures i saw on the net,i mean sometimes they do but not really and its not really a spot in the middle,they just tend to be a bit more whitish in the middle,rarely,and usually if its a big hive spot i notice that...
Aldara i am getting it in one week,so i am not and have not used it yet,but i will...(oh that will be a new ''adventure'' hopefully in a good way)
mms,i will actually do it,but do you think i could get it from a local shop or pharmacy (i assume not) or i have to order it from the net...???
I assure you the redness and itch you experience at night is not yeast. Yeast will not come and go like that. Either you have it or you don't.
Did you ever do antibiotics over the last couple of months, or even years. Most fungus is spurred on by antibiotic use, but certainly not all... and here I am thinking about your mouth issue.
Now to the allergy thing... something has changed in you and we know not exactly what. Allergies can develop at any point during life and what you were never allergic to you can become allergic to.
Still the elimination protocol is required. Even though you were never allergic to your soap, or what ever, you may be allergic now. I know its a pain in the butt to go through but you certainly are allergic to something..
Generally the elimination protocol starts by eliminating exteranal things one at a time to note an improvement. If nothing from your external environment can be nailed down then you start on an elimination protocol for what you eat and drink. One thing at a time for a week or two to look for improvement.
Food allergy is generally acquired by some kind of change or decline in the status of the gut anywhere from the stomach to the anus. Something has happened and will need removal of the allergen at least, but best to heal the gut. A healthy person can eat almost anything without allergic reaction.
Healing the gut is an all encompasing procedure and if there is fungus in the mouth I have to wonder about the intestines.
I do know that homeopathy can eliminate some allergies also. For instance it is very good at eliminating milk allergy and lactose intolerance. It has also been known to eliminate soy allergy, as well as undefined allergies from the environment. I highly recommend homeopathy but one needs to find an excellent practitioner. Much easier to do if you live on the west coast or Arizona... but they are in most states and one can find one if one is determined to do so. One of the great homeopaths for my family had been Cheif cardiologist at Texas Southwestern Medical School before he took on homeopat... so you never know what you will find.
You might want to consider using MMS before that drug.
MMS must be purchased on line for the most part. I have purchased on ebay before. Search MMS or water purification drops, or both together. Make sure you understand how to use it and what to expect before you jump into it. There is a learning curve.
Arrow ok my hives are still here,coming and going as they please,mostly at night,the occasional hive during the day...
in january i had taken some pills after my nose surgery,but only for a few days (i was put to sleep for the surgery,i know that cant be good),i also had taken some pills after my upper lip surgery 5 months ago,but only for 2-3 days...so no i never in my life had a long period of taking pills or drugs like that
as far as soap shampoo and those bathroom products go i changed EVERYTHING,and i went organic,and i did that AFTER the hives first appeared,so i guess its not that bcuz its been more than a month and no change,the hives are still here...
so at least i know its not that,about food i dont know really,keep in mind my hives came on BEFORE i did ANY changes in my lifestyle...so now for the last month i also eat less to no meat,so i guess meat is not the problem either...
ok here is something weirds i noticed,when i went for my holiday i ate ALOT,i mean i ate like i NEVER ate before,in amount and i also had some foods i never ate before,in france...but for 4 days i did not take a sh.t,i remember i was worried i mean where did all that food go and imagine the situation in my body with 4 days of foods beeing stuck in there, and i think on the 4th or the 5th day i got my first ever outbreak of lip herpes,or a cold sore i dunno but it was bad and fing ruined my holiday abit...
before that something like this happened once,and it was for 3 days i remember,but except those 2 times i never and i still have no problems going to the bathroom,im a very skinny person and i pee many times a day and i also sh.t(i dunno the nice word) 1-3 times a day everyday...
mms i told you in the other post too,it will be done soon...when the time comes for it youll know,i will need your help and advice about it too
about the hives also in my tongue mycosis thread i posted a link of some other guy who also have the same,so when i treat the mycosis,fungus,thrust whatever internally maybe,just maybe the hives will go too,i mean who knows...
i also read about hives beeing caused by herpes,so thats another thing to consider but i had herpes for 3 yrs now and i didnt get hives,so i dont think its that,but i dunno...
what i do think could be is hpv,my body is fighting that and the genital warts i have caused by it,so maybe a reaction as the war is happening,bcuz its pretty bad and i know its bad bcuz i see and have been living with the warts for 5 months now...
we will see,with time...ill keep trying though and after the hpv is gone,after the mycosis thrust is gone,after some time after mms after doing a parasite cleanse maybe if i muster the strenghth an enema,after EEEVERYTHING i plan on doing,water purifier,or an ozonator,oxygen purifier,after everything if the hives are still here well ill accept its an allergy and start eliminating everything,you knou ill start going on a one food a week protocol,i eat one thing a week and see what i can eat without problems..hahaha lol
The constipation you had while traveling is called traveler's consitpation, and is very common when some people travel. The upset in routine and change in foods can bring it on. Be more moderate in your diet when you travel and do they have Activia Yogurt in Greece? This type of yogurt is very effective for this problem, but you might need to eat 2 or 3 of them a day, the come in small 6 ounce cups generally. Generally I don't care for this type of yogurt culture, as I don't think its the best choice, but I would use it while traveling
The word is thruSH, not thruST.... I hope you don't mind me correcting some of the language stuff. In time your English will improve and juggling so many languages cannot be easy.
If the allergy hives is bad you can take Benadryl (generic name is Diphenhydramine) and will be available in your country. This drug will make you sleepy and it does impair mental clarity so only take it at bedtime. 50 mg is required for the best effect. Try not to make a habbit of taking it every night. If you are having a bad night with hives it will help you to get some sleep as it relieves the itching. Also drink extra water as it can make your mouth dry. Its good to have around inncase you ever have a lifet hreatening allergic reaction to anything. Take 50mg right away and rush to the hospital as you do it. Allergies can be life threatening and you never know when that could occur. Likely it wont happen at all but Benadryl could save your life till you got to the hospital to get better care. If you ever have a life threatening event, such as not being able to breath due to swelling in the lungs or throat the hospital should give you an injection drug to carry wtih you to take and keep with you ...... don't mean to be fear mongering here but I have seen allergy like you have take a turn for the worst... not likely to happen, but it could, so you should be aware of that.
I'm going to be away now for a couple of days. We have to go to the mountains to collect wood for the winter
Thanks for the correction,of course i dont mind it,i appreciate it,i mean how else would one learn if not corrected...
how does the saying go,a person that asks is a fool for a minute,a person that dont ask is a fool forever...
its something along those lines,you know what i mean...
thank you for the info about the drug,i will not get it i really dont want anymore drugs around,im taking the tongue stuff,im getting aldara in 5 days for the down area,so no more chemicals....if it gets extremely bad ill get it,so ill keep it in mind...
have fun collecting wood,stay safe and take care...
and as i would say in serbian,pamet u glavu...it basically means literally ''smarts in the head'',stay smart maybe in english hmmm
oh i just remembered,in the beggining of my holiday i had the constipation,then immedietly the cold sore or lip herpes,and than i dont remember exactly when but definitly during my 17 days holiday i got 3 or 4 times bumps in my mouth,i mean on the inner of my cheeks and on the inside of my lower lip...
basically i remember they did hurt,but after messing with them a bit they popped,and a day later they were gone,so i got 3 or 4 of those one by one on differend days and the last one i got was on the lower lip and that one id also popped but didnt go away the next day,it took it around 10 days to heal,i just assumed i popped it too deeply or too early,so i damaged the entire area there and not just the bump...
Ok the hives have been pretty calm the last 2-3 days,actually i think i didnt get any at all...and im following the candida diet as much as possible,so maybe its that...
i mean all i eat all day long is veggies,any and all kinds,fish...rarely a fruit or no fruit,i also limited honey (sugar intake),i eat nuts too sunflower,pumpkin,and a few more kinds,i drink tea and cacao,but really i could be wrong but since i started taking spirulina and vitamin A supplements and consuming alot of vitamin C,they have calmed alot,i will keep watching how its developing and update again in a few days,fingers crossed
