hi Sue,

Sorry you're having such a nasty reaction. I'm doubtful that it's yeast die-off that's causing this though ... die-off, or a cleansing reaction, would've begun during the first 10 days, and symptoms would've included feelings of malaise, possibly diarrhea or nausea, headaches and yes, possibly a rash.

Do you have a history of eczema?? Stress can trigger a flare up, this I know from personal experience. The rash tends to be dry and itchy at first, then the hives appear.

Has the manufacturer of your usual soap or laundry detergent changed their formula? Look for "new and improved" or other hints on the label. That may be a culprit. I had to stop using a favourite shampoo because they changed their formula, and the new one makes my scalp itchy.

It seems that a trip to the dr. may be in order. If the symptoms are localized to your skin, perhaps just a cortisone cream such as betnovate may be all that's necessary, rather than an injection of any kind.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Doreen
