Chronic Hives, swelling & Joint Pain

I started having hives since May of 2011 I have sen 2 different doctors and 1 allergist, They tested me for different allergies and I am not allergic to anything. The allergist put me on allegra, zyrtec, sterioids and depression meds and nothing has worked. It has improved but the flares are so random that it does not seem that is something I am doing causing it. I requested a copy of my blood tests and sent it to my cousin (he is a doctor in another country). He told me that my white blood cells were too high and that is a sign of infection. I contacted the allergist and told her about it and said that it has nothing to do with it and that the treatment she is giving me is the way to go, that she does not think I will ever find the cause of the hives. That a change in my immune system is causing it but she does not know what! I am so tired of this and I want answers... Any ideas? Suggestions? I have a 1 year old baby that needs my attention but I am not giving her my all due to this stressing situation. Our finances are going down the drain too with so many medical bills, missing work to make to appointments ... I hope  you have some answers.. Thanks for your time

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Sometimes environmental, diurnal and temperature variations can trigger attacks. These are difficult to avoid, but you could be aware and protect yourself if they are the causative factors. Also, check out for any vitamin deficiencies.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hey Marce.
Parasitic infections are sometimes confused with allergies.
Also great advice from Paderla Anitha.
However, I think that your immune system is incorrectly reading  certain frequencies as
"invasive".
One must understand that the our entire cellular system including our immune system responds and communicates in some type of a  code of sorts, according to various frequencies received. When the immune system's "program" that reads or senses the frequencies is mal-functioning ( there are numerous enviromental, nutritional, emotional factors that cause this- "Rain Barrel Effect"), then the program has to be re-balanced. Communication, sensing, frequencies, codes etc are all within the Bodies Energy Field.
The only area of Medicine that can address such issues efficiently is Energy Medicine.
Correct its Energy Imbalance and the symptoms should just vanish, eventually.
That is why modalities like "Allergy Antidotes" and NAET (Dr Nambudripat's Allergy Elimination Technique) using Energy Medicine have so much success around the world.
So check it out and seek Doctors or Practitioners trained in these modalities,
in your area. Both are very effective and fast.
The costs should be reasonable. There are no drugs, no specialized expensive tests,
just the cost of the sessions. Within 3-4 sessions on the average, the issue should be resolved completely. At $75.00 per session (here in Canada) average, it would cost
about $300.00 for a typical case like yours, barring any extraordinary circumstances.
So please do research this, as I believe it offers a lot of promise for a successful treatment.
You may post again with your questions and comments.
Blessings to you and family.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. Hives develop in response to an allergic reaction, by the release of histamine. The allergen can be medications, food, extremes of temperature, exercise and viral infections to name a few. Since the causative agent has not been identified, you could try and work towards that. As, therapy lies in avoiding the allergen and anti-histamines. Maintain a food dairy and try to see if anything is triggering your attacks. Also, be aware of environmental triggers or seasonal variations.  

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
