Q: Anyone have allergy symptoms that includes being cold all the time ??

I've had an allergic reaction to something since June. The Dr's can't figure it out. I am thinking it may be my deodorant, and will be switching today. I have had dry skin that is extremely itchy, raised red bumps that pop up all over my body. Bumps may be from my fingernails. The itching is in different places all the time, like it moves around my body. They thought it was hives, but I didnt have the blotchy skin. I have tried prednizone, allegra, zyrtec, numerous topical creams. I also did the "Scavie" cream, and that didn't help.  I have also had the chills, and it seems like I am unable to get warm. Just wondering if this is related ??

my daughter 4 yrs old has recently had a bladder infection, started as a urine tract infection UTI and had symptoms of hives around her eyes.  She now is cold all the time and I am searching online for this symptom.  It is unlike  her, she was always warm like her father and now seems to find it hard to get warm.  Goes back to bed under the blankets.  She often gets purple lips.

it sounds like your daughter may be having problems w/ anemia , try vitamines w/ iron , the discoloraton around the lips generally is from lack of oxygen in the blood which means the red blood cells are having a hard time carrying oxygen to the furthest reaches of her circulatory system, pinch her finger tips , if it takes more than a second for the color to return to red then this is what she probably has. the doctor will probably tell you to put her on iron suppliments as well
