Please help!! I got the Mierna back in October of 2016. The worst decision of my life and I feel like I was pressured into it! January/February of 2017 I began to get what looked like little hives all over my arms. They would itch or intensify at night time when it's cool. It began to worsen and appear every night with an occasional lip swelling but be gone on the morning or mid day. My obgyn office couldn't see me for a while to remove it so I did some research and removed it myself. The doctor who put it in told me it's just like taking out a tampon slow and gentle. I removed the mierna with no problem. Two days later I bleed for a two days which I told was normal. During that time my hives flared up and I thought it was a case of my body just removing the resude left over. March no cycle but the hives continued and this time they weren't leaving as quick as they came. My hives remained on my body all day and there was constant itiching. The end of march into April my hives have become ridiculous unbearable to the point where I have not slept and stay up and cry. My skin looks awful but more importantly they hives have spread literally all over my body. My face, hands,neck, arms and legs. What started off as small circles here and there have become massive. My skin is raised and inflamed. I feel like I am on fire all the time. I also began my first cycle I'm only 24 and terrified that this has ruined my life since the birth of my son in August 2016. It makes it extremely hard to care for my 7month old. I just don't understand why it's getting so worse after I've already removed it. Benadryl (in both forms) doesn't work neither does hydrocortisone. Has this happened to anyone else? Does any one have any suggestions? Any comments or advice is truly appreciated! Thank you in advance
Mierna.....is that for birth control? Have you tried taking an antihistamine like Allegra or Zyrtec? When I was younger That is what helped to control the hives. It sounds like Urticaria (hives). Ask your doctor about this treatment. You may have to take more than one a day. Are you nursing your son...if so ask doctor if okay to take meds. Most important Makita....please try not to stress as that can make hives worse. hang in there girl...you will be okay...your body is going through a lot of changes right now.
keep us posted.

Désolé d'apprendre tous les problèmes que vous rencontrez, mais j'ai la même éruption cutanée, très grave surtout la nuit, et cela me rend fou. Je vais chez le médecin le 11 avril et ils pensent m'injecter du Xolair, et chaque injection coûte 1500,00 $, et il a dit que je pourrais avoir besoin de 4 injections, donc j'attends encore de voir si mon plan va accepter cela, mais sinon je ne peux pas le prendre, c'est trop cher. J'ai cette éruption cutanée depuis plus de 3 ans maintenant et elle empire, tout comme vous, même sur le visage parfois et comme vous, sur tout mon corps et même sur des parties que vous ne souhaiteriez pas avoir si vous voyez ce que je veux dire. Je sais que cela ne vous aide pas, mais je voulais vous faire savoir que d'autres sont comme vous et je vous souhaite beaucoup de chance pour vous débarrasser de cette démangeaison folle si forte. Prenez soin de vous et beaucoup de chance et si vous trouvez un remède, veuillez, s'il vous plaît, me le faire savoir. Merci Makita
Hello
i am in the United States. Contact the maker of Xolair as they will work with your insurance and will only cost under $20.00. Your doctor should inform you of that. Do research on Xolair...I'm sure you will find it. I had the Xolair injections for a few months but it did not work for me but does to others. I paid $5.00 each injection. my hives were severe...Chronic Urticaria.
I found a new doctor she had me slowly go up on Cyclosporine then added Prednisone then extremely slow taper took a year to go down on both but I have been hive free for over a year now. I am only taking 3 mg of Prednisone now...next month down to 2 mg. Have been off cyclosporine for many months. I have enjoyed quality of life! I have an amazing doctor...she knows how to treat this. Are you in the US?
there is HOPE!!

Wow, je suis tellement content pour toi Wendy car je sais ce que c'est que d'avoir ces démangeaisons et ça me rend fou. Merci de m'avoir dit que je devrais être couvert avec ça, mais je ne suis pas sûr car je suis au Canada. Je suis tellement content maintenant que tu vas avoir une vie normale sans cette mauvaise éruption cutanée et ces démangeaisons, bonne chance et j'espère que ça reste parti. Merci d'avoir répondu à mon message et j'espère que tout se passera bien pour moi aussi.
