[aryaman]

Hi guys.
There's a fried of mine who, for a urticaria problem, takes antihistaminics and corstison medicines,and asked me if she can take shrooms and if would have problem with such drugs.


Can you help her?

Thanks =)

Do you know the cause ? How long has the person had it ? Is the treatment working = makeing it less uncomfortable and / or healing it ?

She takes it for that Urticaria, and she is also allergic to nickel.
She is taking these staff since 3 years, and seems like working... just don't know if would be a problem for soem drugs

I asked because it can be caused by an alergy and it can also have a psychelogical component . IF she isnt alergic to mushrooms the mushrooms themselves wont be a problem . If she doesnt know maybe she can make a pin prick on her skin and rub a piece of the mushrooms she would like to try into it . Then observe what happens . If she gets a swelling or other negative effects she should stay away from mushrooms . She could also try makeing a small amount of mushroom tea and droping some of that on a pin prick in her skin .

The thing about a posible psychelogical component is that if she is fixed on her problem , or it itches a lot she might have problems if she takes a trip .

The cortisone wont cause a problem and i think that the antihistamine shouldnt ....BUT i cant say that for definate . I do know that i used to have to take antihistamine and it didnt stop me takeing drugs of any sort .

So , be carefull , and wait to see if anyone else here has any information to offer .
