Lisa….Is it possible for your physician to reach out to the NIH – if not then you should do so:

and/or call the NCI (800) 422-6237

Sorry to hear this Lisa, wish that I could help more.

I found this from the UK and thought it might be of interest to you.

Finished ten days or prednisone and hives came back two days after finishing steroids. The biopsy came back negative for vasculitis. They have increased my doxypin to 50 mg in the am and 50 mg at night and then I take Benedryl about 4 times a day. I am covered in hives. I don’t know what to do next. I am miserable. Help!

I’m so sorry, Lisa. That sounds very uncomfortable and I’m sure frustrating for you. Prednisone is so powerful… Hoping you get relief!

Aw, Lisa, We are the Pred twins. If we walked down the street we would be Tweedle Dee Dee and Tweedle Dee Dum! Hopefully you won’t have to be on it too long, that stuff is nasty!

I am back on prednisone today. Last night my eye swelled shut and my lips and cheeks look an ad for Botox gone bad. Thank you all for your thoughts.

Wow, Lisa, more biopsies! It’s good the new dr is looking even deeper into the problem. I sure wish you could find relief from this. I met a gal with similar condition triggered by cold believe it or not. Anyhow, I thank you for your thoughtfulness in calling and praying for my sister and I. I will continue to do the same for you!

I saw a new doctor today and he did four punch biopsies of my hives. The stitches stay in till next week and the results should be back then as well. The biopsy results should help determine the type of autoimmune disease.
Hopefully getting closer to a diagnosis and proper meds.
