Hives

in Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

My wedding is coming up in July and I am worried that I will break out in hives on the day.  I frequently get hives on my face, chest, and arms when I am in a new situation or even talking with someone.  I am sure it is anxiety but sometimes I am totally comfortable with the people around me but I still break out.  I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if so what do you do to remedy it?

    Does something like Benedryl help? If so, possibly you could take it before the ceremony and then again later when it is time for another dose.

    Yes!  I have this same issue!  Benedryl would help sometimes but then my allergist told me to try over-the-counter Zrytec and it works great!  Makes you a little drowsy, but I'd take that over hives on my wedding day!

    I take claritin daily for that.  My dr. recommended an anti-histimine...and it worked great.  Claritin doesn't make you drowsy.

    I always break out in hives in nervous situations. I was so calm the entire day leading up to the ceremony but the minute I started walking down the aisle, I got extremely nervous! My sister saw red appear on my arm and asked my mom what it was. My mom didn't see it at frist. My sister started to get scared because about 2 minutes later, it was getting bigger and my entire arm and neck was red. My mom had to calm her down saying it's hives. Luckily my photographer photoshopped them out. However all the pictures my friends took, yoiu can see them!

    I agree with PP's. Claratin may help. I don't know how you would test it before hand, unless you put yourself in a stressful situation.

    This happened to me the day of the wedding. When I get nervous I get all red and it happened as I walked up the aisle. It finally went away though.

    I had hives of undertermined origin for 2 years. I used zyrtec each night before bed and it helped keep them under control.
    My suggestion is the take the zyrtec or any antihistimine daily at bedtime for a few weeks leading up to the wedding. This may or may not help but letting the antihistimine build up in your system will geve you a good start.
    I never took it in the daytime, and the added bonus was great sleep.
    Good Luck, my hives disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared after 2 years.
