Kristi, thank you for keeping us up to date. I hope this day finds your hives gone and you able to sleep. Those steroids are nasty; I've had quite a few bouts with allergic reactions to meds and the docs always trot out the prednisone. We had an excellent thread which discussed steroids. If you are interested it was called "cortisone for tendonitis?". If you type that in the Quick Search box at the top of the thread title, it should come up.

All the best,
