@ Jayep My mom gets hives and I recently looked at some areas and told her that she has a bit of eczema, also. She was not happy to hear that was it. She said her dad had eczema then, also. I know that if I do not take my Neurontin in the evening I feel my nerves start up. If I eat pineapple, oranges, lemons, limes even as a tiny bit in dressings...I start itching behind my knees and elbows. Tomatoes cause the Eczema to break out everywhere at once. I used to could have tomatoes all the time. Turmeric really gets me, also. It is used in those seasoning salts for fries, meat, etc. Good luck.
I get it from Neosporin. I am allergic to NSIDs, benadryl, pineapple, muscle relaxants. Basically I stick to Tylenol. Has anyone noticed with Fibromyalgia the foods that we liked before we can't stand to eat now.
Yes, I also have eczema. Sometimes I ask my drs if this is the melting pot for all these symptoms. It is frustrating, and you ask why me? Like I tell my family and friends, why not me? I am stubborn, pig headed, and like things to run smoothly. That does not fit the fibro mindset!! Well it's not easy, in fact sometimes it is harder than anything. But I get through it. One day at a time. Just keep smiling!☺
@ jayep I have eczema and understand about the itching. I would get that sometimes years back. I switched to Dove body washes and made sure to wear looser cottons example sweatpants and jeans. It is the best until you heal up. I would also get a good lotion...Cerave has helped in the past few years. It is not greasy.
I have had hives off and on for many years--hives on my back, belly and hands. I was so mad when a physician's assistant told me this instead of giving me a shot but it really works for me--- Take Zyrtec and Zantac daily. I take for several days after the hives are not showing on my skin. Try it--it works for me!
