It could be a number of things causing it. All my life I have had random outbreaks of hives/swelling which usually came and went without ever really determining the cause. However don't discount the Bactrim just because she has been on it for awhile. I have developed several allergies to medications that I had taken for years prior with no reaction. If it does turn out to be a medication allergy, it does not necessarily mean that Maggie can't take the medicine, she may just have to be desensitized to it. I have this done on a pretty regular basis when I go on oral abx because I am allergic to so many.
I hope that you figure it out soon and that Maggie starts to feel better!

I'm glad to hear you are getting the rash checked out. I think it's easy to chalk everything we experience (as children or adults) as cf related but in fact we have to remember that there ARE other non cf related things out there. Which can be very serious or not. And a rash is a big sign from the body telling us that something is wrong. I was surprised recently when a LO was tested for everything under the sun...doctors were quite worried when she presented with spots (not raised welt hives). Didn't seem like a big deal to me. Boy was I wrong! They worried about <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilus_influenzae">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilus_influenzae</a> and some other scary stuff.
I got somethign similar to what CherylwithOne's Malora gets called "Immune Complex Vasculitis" when I reached my pinnacle of stress from initial MRSA infection and working too much, etc . Now that my immune system is "programmed" to respond like this I'm told it will likely happen again.

My 4 month old broke out in hives a few weeks ago on her legs and a few on her arms/hands. It happened over a few days. I wasn't really sure what they were at first. They were not raised ,but did group together and make larger circles/spots in the end before going away. She had a doc appt at the clinic the day after I found out what they were. So we waited til her appt. bBy then they were looking alot better and they did not reccommend anything but to call if they came back or got worse. Still unsure what they were from.
We got a call later that weekend that she was culturing Pseudos. I am wondering if she could have gotten hives from that...like you guys are saying happens to you. Is that what you mean...the infection of the 'psuedos' (or other infection) is what caused you to get hives?
