i keep having issues with my eyes!!! they get red and irritated and just hurt!!! I went to the eye dr. and she said the tissue is inflammed! This is like the third time my eyes have done this in a 2 week span and i was put on eye drop antibiotics the last time!!! i'm beginning to wonder if my hives/skin issues are connected to the inflammed eye issue? I've been researching Chron's disease since the last time i had a colonoscopy the dr. said i might have a slight case but needed more tests to confirm! well i never had the tests ran b/c the damn inssurance wouldn't pay :sigh: so now i'm wondering if i have it and it's getting worse maybe? i know the responsible thing to do is go see the dr. but we can't afford a bunch of tests right now!!! :sigh:

I know someone with Crohns...maybe you could talk to her? PM me and I'll send you a link to her Facebook and you could message her. She's sweet.

:idontknow: I wish I had some advice, but it sounds to me like it could be related. Have you ever been tested for anything like Celiac's? I know sometimes food allergies can cause rash and hives.

Have you thought about switching to a hypo allergenic hair/body wash? It could possibly be an allergen to an ingredient in what you're currently using.

I would second Tes' idea. I know the lady she's speaking about and she's wonderful and helpful, and very supportive about this type of thing. She can give you great advice. :))

Sounds like they could all be related. When can you get to a dr?
