Hives! [View all]

Hi, Y'all! I hope everyone reading this is well and happy. For myself, I'm in a pickle. I got my Bivalent Moderna shot and decided to get my flu shot at the same time. I was marginally ok for the first four days but then the itching started.

I've had hives before and after a couple of days they went away with no special treatment except Benadryl. This is day three and there's been no end in sight. Plus, the Benadryl is making me wobbly and dragging my already historically low blood pressure, down even further.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this side effect from either injection. I'm looking for suggestions. Should I just wait it out? As you can imagine it's pretty miserable but the Benadryl does help.

TIA.
