Claritin here we come...

I have been given the green light for Claritin!!! As soon as Maddox wakes up from his nap we are going to buy it!!

These stupid things are still hanging around...well, the hives are gone but my skin still itches and burns. I was up every 3 hours with itching because the hives kept moving around my body, but in a symmetrical pattern. It was wierd. Whatever was on my left arm was in the exact same place on the right arm in the exact same pattern.

When I put my deodarant on today, my armpits started itching within 20 minutes. After I washed them, it stopped. Maybe it's the deodorant? Who knows. I've narrowed it down to a few things: Olive oil soap, dried apple chips, deodorant, apple cider vinegar, stress. OnceI have the Claritin, I will begin experimenting.

I've been trying to read the comments, but haven't been able to for some reason. I'll try again.

Maddox's skin was so clear this morning, but now that I am using the regular handsoap again, his skin is getting blotchy again...maybe a different olive oil soap would work.

On a bright note...I rinsed my hair with apple cider vinegar water last night, and my hair was completely tangle free this morning. Even after sleeping with wet hair in a pony tail all night--and that is unheard of for me. It also felt really soft. But, maybe it contributed to all the hives?
