I am have been suffering from random hive
breakouts since last march. During that
period of time I suffered a nervous
breakdown. Since them I have continued
to randomly break-out in hives. I have
been making sure that what I wash my
laundry with is the same and I have not
changed my soup in years (i use dove). I
also have panic disorder, post-traumatic
stress disorder, insomnia, and
poly-cycstic ovaries. I do have an
allergy to sulfur but I always make sure
no food or medications that I take contain
any. My question is, can the random
break-out of hives be due to
stress/anxiety? If anyone has any ideas,
please feel free to share. I have tried
benadryl and for a while I actually
thought it was due to an allergy from
benadryl but I stopped taking it last
march and they continue to occur.

Hi , I also am allergic to sulphur and get
hives quite often sometimes the problem
isnt that you are having anything with
sulphur in it that triggers hives but that
you have more than one trigger. Ever
thought about going to have an allergy
test done to see what else might be
triggering your out brakes. I have
recently found out that if I have eggs and
peanuts with in days of each other I break
out..The combination of the two is what
causes my hives independantly of each
other im fine. There are some red wines
that give me hives and some that dont.
Mayb you need to isolate other triggers do
a diary of environment, products, plants,
food, and people you come in contact
with.
Good luck

I also have break outs of the hives. They
get real itchy and rise from the skin.
But it's like only a couple here and a
couple there. Not alot all at once. But
I also would like to know if this could be
followed by stress/anxiety? I also have
depression, ibs, ovary problems. ( I
produce too much of the male hormone and
so I don't get my periods and I have to go
on clomid to get pregnant. I think I am
going to go to my therapist and talk about
anxiety to get me on some meds, cause it's
been bad lately. Well any way if any had
info. Please share with us...Thanks
