Husband answers questions on wife's Urticaria Case

[Joan Lowe]

Friends,
This is the response of the husband of the woman with chronic urticaria to some of our questions:

OK had to print the letter to answer the questions. I have one first, how long shoud the aggravation last? 1) Improvement today-- swelling is almost completely gone, but the skin breakouts are worse than yesterday and itch. Before she took the third dose she had minimal welting and was taking only one antihistamine. Now she is taking Claritin in the AM and Zertec at PM. 2) The Arsenicum gave the bad burn now it is mostly itching welts. 3) Sex drive is good; never has been bad. The precurser was like drinking a good glass of wine to be even more enhanced. From reading on hormone replacement she had read that a little Testosterone was good for enhancement. But like I said never has been low. 4) Implants, she had always been flat chested, and she wanted to appear more alluring for me, not just men in general. 5) Tooth---- She had an improper crown put on and it afforded a pathway for infection to the root section of the tooth. It gave a bad infection in the upper jaw and joint area. Tooth had to be removed and a post implanted. That occured about one year before all of this. 6) Sleep--- The antihistamines keep her wired and don't allow a duration of deep sleep. 7) Dreams-- Pleasent thoughts. Recent dreams, dancing with one of our close friends, Country barn dancing. Being with her grandmother, who she loved very much. She just told me that she had a great sex dream about me.
OK I think that gets it. What am I looking for in this current outbreak, improvement, worsening, and how can I tell her that all of this is good. She has a fear that this is not an aggravation and she will be back on two antihistamines and Predisone. I would like to give her a good answer.
