LOCATION: arms legs and back, occasionally edges of cheeks, lips sweeping

ISSUE: Swelling lip (3 times) and hives (used to be sometimes in May but since June they have been daily on arms and legs sometimes back)

ALLERGIES: none for generic allergy back test, no detergent change sheets change, etc

OTHER TESTS: ANA positive

◦ Originally when the hives started I would just get a little in the morning and I would not get them every day - this was in early May.

◦ When I started taking the allergy pill (1 24 hour generic Allegra a day for the month of July) the hives started coming back as soon as the 24 hour pill wore off the next day. There were maybe 2-3 occasions over the month when the hives showed up before 24 hour pill wore off ex: took pill at 8am got minor hives at 7pm.

◦ Then doctor prescribes me to take two 24 hour strength generic Allegra pills a day for the hives. The pills are taken 12 hours apart. BUT now I am getting hives at 8pm when I took morning pill at 8am and night pill at 7:30 pm AND my lip swelled up and I got some face hives which are rare.

◦ 3 times the lip swelled: once after I ate a nectarine, once after I hadn’t eaten anything for awhile and maybe drank from a cup of water, the most recent time 8/7 was after had weed pen

So it seems like somehow the increased allergy meds are making it worse/making the hives come back more even though I am on more medicine is this something I should be worried about ?

Okay tbh doctor prescribed me three 180 mg Allegra a day but I am scared to take the 3rd but maybe that will do the trick to suppress them?

Going to be camping in Maine next week. Tent camping but will not have any coolers, fridge, etc.

I typically eat bread and nut butter but I am wondering if these will go bad quickly and not last the whole trip if I leave them in the car?

(FLYING SO CANT BRING COOLER)

I am tired of the orange sticker, has anyone ever exacto knifed off a sticker to keep the ones on top? I want to know if the ones I leave would be okay and not look weird?

If it’s a bad idea I’ll just leave it :(

Sorry they are small so it was hard to get clear picture and provide the as many details as you guys like to have for identification. Found in Midwest USA on countertop surrounding a piece of food. They are reddish.

I’m a beginner and this kit is so easy to follow since it is painted on, I have been trying to find some like this one on Etsy but can’t. I know Michael’s has other small kits like these but the other one I bought that is also 3x3 didn’t have a painted canvas.

Where can I find more kits like these with a painted canvas?

I looked into fixing my zipper that has a misplaced “tooth” (unsure if that’s correct word) but all the solutions seem to be for zippers that have different hardware at the top and bottom but mine is the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Got this Michaels kit, there is this piece of felt that came with it and I wanted to make sure I’m not supposed to be sewing through the felt piece, I shouldn’t be right?

Directions do not mention the felt piece at all
