Could be a bed bug

Not sure if this is related, but I've always eaten fresh shrimps, but a couple of years ago after eating some, I woke up in the middle of the night itching like crazy and feeling sick.
I was totally out of it, couldn't work out what was going on with me.Even passed out at one point.
The next day my upper body was all red and itchy, and I felt shaky and sick, also had a touch of the "two bob bits".

I've tried them again since and had the same problem, so now steer clear, but I sill would like to eat a plate full.

 

She has just mentioned its urticicria and the swelling is meant not to be angiodemia? sorry ive not had chance to google it all but shes satys it shouldnt happen on the neck of the spine its usually lips and hands that are affected,she is so worried as shes read it can be fatal if near the throat

 

Dial 999

Meningist can't be ruled out yet.

Ive sent her the link to this thread,she just said her daughter had fishcake at school on friday so that possibilty i think cant be ruled out,cheers pete

 

She has been to hosp zig,she up and about stil got a bit of a lump but rash as almost gone,she stil has pain there thou so she off to docs tomo to get a check over

 

As far as i understand it Joolz with hives any part of the body can be affected...it sounds like she's had a reaction to something ...I've just read this article http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/hives.html#a_About_Hives....don't know how to do the link but there's lots of info on it

 

Thanks loli for taking time to read up xx ive been doing some aswell,i hope its a one off for hercos some adults are not having much luck with reocurring hives so uncomfortable x

 

Has she had all her jabs?

Mumps spring to mind too.

 

Here is the photo of her back yest

 

The hardest thing is finding the trigger...i wonder what caused it hows she doing now Joolz?

 

Awww that looks nasty poor girl....what treatment have they given her?

 

I was talking to my brother today about this. He has had Hives for a couple of months. Apparently it can be triggered by just about anything, nerves, plants, food etc. It is the Urticaria family. In my brothers case it's an allergy to something in his garden, he was blood tested. His doctor prescribed him pills which were no help but his pharmacist said to take Piriton which does, and not to take more than the stated dose. On Thursday he saw a Homeopath who has prescribed for him but he hasn't received the medicine yet.

My brother said he was told it would get worse before getting better and it will eventually burn itself out. It is now improving.

 

Shes still got some pain,tracys taking her to docs tomo to see if he can shed some light and help x
Tracys trying to get a confirmation on joining the gc when ziggy wakes up so she can tell us more x
