Hmm, I think idiopathic urticaria, whether long-term or not, is , of course, a mystery. But in my case, I think it's stress. Not all types of stress, but deeper, more existential-type stress. I dunno. My mom said that when she was about to deliver my little sister, that there was only this big, pink, meaty orderly in the room. She was horrified to think of his hun delivering her baby and she became incredibly itchy all over--almost unbearably. but then her obgyn came in and the itchiness resolved immediately after she gave birth. so maybe it's just one of those things. with mine, there is never any rash/hives except for the redness and scratching impressions I make from scratching. My dermatologist called it dermagraphy or something like that. where you can scratch a line on your skin and a big, red, raised line appears soon after...
the Focalin seems to be working at 20mg TID. I know that's a ton I guess, but ? :/ I'm trying not to factor in the fact that I hate my job, and that maye I "need" a lille more :/
And how are you ?
