Hi all. Last year I had to take Benadryl one evening and noticed that I had NO flaring in my toes that night. So I took it again the next night, but had some slight, patchy flaring areas. The third night of Benadryl my toes flared as if I hadn't taken anything. Just chiming in with another account of antihistamines helping EM for only a short time. Strange!
