Does anybody have or had chronic urticaria (hives)?

if so, how long have you had them and what treatments worked or have not worked ? my sister has very painful hives everyday, for about 11 years now, and refuses prednisone. my other sister had them for 3 years but is gone now with the help of prednisone for those 3 years. both sisters had allergy tests which nothing showed up. any suggestions please.

I've had them for 9 yrs now,and they can be miserable!!I first starting breaking out soon after I'd had a small surgery.Stress brings mine on very quickly,heat,or sometimes just doing too much during the day,walking etc.My Dr. gives me Zertic to take daily,it does help some.If I wasn't taking it I'm sure it would be much worse.I've tried all the oatmeal baths,skin creams,and much more,steroids worked for me but gained weight and got off them.I hate having hives but it's something I've had to learn to live with.Like knowing what my limits are and so on.I hope your sister can find how to either control them or just live with them.Best of luck***

Skin diseases are no longer the great challenge they used to be.

A group of complex carbohydrates should normally be attached the proteins of every single cell in the human body.

The transfer of all biological data at cellular level depends upon all of those carbohydrates being in place.

Such problems are simply the result of the Immune System being compromised by the depletion of one or more of these carbohydrates.

Diseases such as Eczema, Psoriasis, skin cancer or Hives, are simply the result of the immune system not being able to recognise that there is a problem in the first place.

This is four times Nobel Prize winning science, with 350,000 scientific papers being written about it already.

Replacing these missing carbohydrates is quite straight forward, and promotes proper immune response. This attacks the root cause of the disease.
