• Queen of the Hives

  My battle these days has been these annoying uninvited visitors called Hives. I have no clue why they come and go but mostly they seem to stick around more then they go. I haven’t eaten anything different. My detergent isn’t new. I’m not using new bath wash. Since January I have been dealing with these pesky perpetrators. In the past 3-4 weeks they have been darn near impossible to get rid of. I don’t want anymore steroids. I’m sick of Benadryl and Atarax. I was going to visit an allergist, but my husband had the great idea to call my chiropractor. More cost effective and I love it because he tries to do things the holistic way. My chiropractor suggested we try some homeopathic medicine called Adrisin for allergy relief and a detox kit that I add to water everyday for 4 weeks. For the hives themselves, he suggested some colloidal silver ointment. He also advised that things may get worse before they get better. Tonight I am feeling the worse. I’m trying not to scratch like a dog with fleas. I’m really hoping that I’m on the path to answers. It’s tough being the Queen of the Hives!

  My husband remarked that I am the “gray area” girl. We first started seeing the chiropractor because of my TMJ. TMJ is something you will always have once you have it. Unless you are miraculously healed. With TMJ there is no one answer to helping it. You have to try a few things and see what works for you. Now this allergy business where sky is the limit on what can give you hives!

  I’m praying and having patience. I’m trying not to complain too much. I’m taking oatmeal baths and/or epsom salt combined with baking soda to try to soothe the itching. I’m persevering once again.

  Peace, love, & Jesus,
