A Case of Chronic Hives

I recently treated a patient for her chronic hives. These are her remarks:

"I found Dennis through an internet search. (www.DennisBarrow.com). I was looking for someone who practiced Chinese medicine in Washington DC who could help me with both hot flashes and chronic hives. The last time in the past 14 years when I was free from chronic hives is when I went to a medical clinic in China. That was in 2003 and the improvement lasted for 6 months.

After meeting Dennis we first worked on my hot flashed and then on the hives. We did weekly treatments for about 2 months. The intensity of the hives abated. Dennis then prescribed Chinese herbs. Today my hives are 98% reduced. I rarely feel them now. After exercise, I can look in the mirror and still see that I have some red spots. However, they are much better. Before I couldn't even move in hot weather without getting hives and I had to give up exercise completely. Now I walk a mile and a half to the metro every day. I only experience hives when I experience extreme anxiety and then only slightly. I am so thankful to Dennis and his willingness to work with me through this."
