Homeopathic treatment for Urticaria

[CountessDracula]

I have this mildly, have been on antibiotics for about a year and suspect that this is the cause.

I just wondered if anyone knew a good homeopathic treatment for this?

Lol, having a very hot day! But good ,

aha
so you are sceptical without having tried it

Have you tried chinese herbal medicine that might help it is vg for that sort of thing.

I had terrible eczema and homeoopathy made it a lot better. However a 6 week course of chinese herbs 15 years ago and I have not had any eczema since. it was so bad my legs were bleeding.

herbal totally different - that has stuff in it

My dad had tinnitus and spend loads on chinese herbal rememdies - it didn't work!

Have tried the Bach Flower rememdies - didn't work! DH is a doctor and is very good at convincing me why things like that shouldn't work - (IYSWIM). He likes his sience

oh i give up

is urticaria the same as hives (think it is)?

I find aloe vera gel is very good for those. It also cools the skin.

Works on animals apparently.

But then I believe there is evidence that placebos also work on animals (or so my psych tutor told me).

Still, working is working...

Absolutely, if it works....

in fact, it was a doctor methinks who recommended the aloe vera stuff to us (when dd used to get them)

Aloe vera is fab.

one of the gps at my local surgery is also a homeopath.

My mum used to work at a doctor's surgery where one of the GPs was also an acupunturist. She gave her a little pin in her ear for a bad back.

It is very difficult for homeopathy to work when you are on immunosuppressants.My sister is a homeopath and she says it takes persistance and longer to take effect.Best to go to a homeopath though and get the right thing

yes they did mention that
i have appt with the gp in the morning
I take higher dose

My sister has sent me some homeopathic 'steroids' which I am going to start tomorrow in the hope of reducing the real ones in time.

really?

How great that would be if it works, steriods are the PITS

She has one of those machines for making the pills.She also has a book from college which gives codes?? for conventional meds.Are you on azathioprine?

yeah but only 50mg a day atm

I have just gone back on it this week after years of more 'advanced' immunos which have made me ill in so many other ways.Hope this will get me back to normal well normal for me I am on 100mg

So Dracula, you abuse me to hide your ignorance ?

no I abuse you because you are such a twat and I enjoy watching you get all huffy and on your high horse and holier than thou

CHILL OUT freako

anyway
i am dealing with vivisectionist war criminals and music playing dogs at the moment and don't have time for your snottiness soz

So your logic is that animal experiments are wrong, therefore you promote quack medicines ?

What's the betting you believe in crystal therapy as well, and maybe the mystical powers of Dairylea ?

nono
i am in favour of animal testing
if I buy something not tested on an animal I usually squirt it in my dog's eye just to be on the safe side
