Thank you so much, Roy!
I am grateful for your prompt reply, as guess what! more hives

tonight, about an hour after eating what I thought was a good meal. darnit!!
But I will try to eliminate the things you mention. I imagine regulating salt will help lessen my thirst, as well. Is it alright to drink to slake my thirst until it lessens, or would it be better to drink water more moderately (and excellerate the discharge)?
Would it be wise to take medicinal action to accelerate the discharge?
Thank you very much for your help.
