In reply to What's causing hives after evening med dose?, posted by Geegee on October 3, 2008, at 1:01:06
You are allergic to something. Actually, to get hives means you are very allergic to something. Whatever it is, you are exposed to it in the evening. Possibly a filler in the magnesium supplement. You could try skipping that and see. Other than that, you just gotta kinda be a detective and look around your environment to try to figure out what is different in the evening than during the day.
While you're at it, check the bottle of fish oil to see if it states it is free of heavy metals and PCPs. If not, ditch it and get one that does. Kind of off topic, but could be related, in any case it is a wise move. The last thing anyone with an allergic response needs is exposure to any kind of toxin, even in tiny amounts. Mercury and other toxins even in minute quantities can seriously aggravate a susceptible immune system, with allergies and autoimmune reactions resulting. So while a contaminated fish oil won't itself cause the hives, it could set you up to be allergic to other things. Hopefully you got a good brand that says it is free of heavy metals and this paragraph is wasted. That would be cool.
