Fascinating thread, I too have this. I noticed it when putting up Christmas trees…my arms are all welted for a while, and my husband’s arms and hands are fine.

I just tried it now, but only red lines, no welts. But I am also trying out the H1 and H2 antihistamines yesterday and today, so would that affect it?
Dr. Diana, you mention you worship at the Zyrtec alter twice a day… does that mean you take a double dose two times? We are trying Zantac 150mg every 12 hours, as doc said, and then doubling the Zyrtec. But she didn’t say how. I assume it is 20 mg instead of 10 only once a day?

Today is day two.
thanks,
Terri Lynn

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
