Looks like this thread may still be going. What a relief it was to read these posts. Can't believe doctors don't know about the link between ivy and hives. I had the same experience as everyone else on here, ivy for about 10 days, treated it with topical ointments and took prednisone orally for about 10 days. The hives started around the 12th day, I got off the prednisone and went back to the doctor. They gave me the steroid cream and a script for Vistril. The Vistril has been pretty helpful but hasn't cured it by any means. Been in misery since getting the hives 3 days ago, can't wait for this to end!
I learned a lot from reading these posts, I was certain I was having a reaction to the prednisone but now I'm not so sure. From what I read it sounds like it takes about 2 weeks for the hives to clear so I'll start counting the days. Thank you everyone!
