Daily activity induces hives Dear Dr. Gott: I am begging for help, please. I am 73 years old and have lost 120 pounds on Weight Watchers. My problem is that when I walk, take a bath, get excited, angry or upset, I break out in hives that look like measles. And they’re so itchy! I have been to a few doctors, and they tell me to take antihistamine tablets, but I cannot tolerate them. I need to walk to keep my weight down and my “new” knees working. This started four years ago afDR. PETER ter having bilateral knee GOTT replacement, but I’m not sure if there is any connection. I walked three miles a day before but cannot do that any longer. I know you are busy but hope you will reply. I am willing to try anything. Dear Reader: Hives are red or white, raised, itchy welts that appear on the skin. They can be either acute or chronic. Acute hives can last from several minutes to up to six weeks. Chronic hives last longer — perhaps for more than six months. As a general rule, hives are harmless and don’t leave any lasting marks, even when left untreated. A condition known as angioedema resembles hives but is more serious. It occurs deeper in the skin and can present with swelling, blis-
ters, pain, abdominal cramping, severe swelling of the face, arms, hands, legs, feet and genitalia and, in severe cases, difficulty swallowing and/or breathing. Both conditions are triggered when mast cells release histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream and skin. Causes might include exposure to latex, pollen, animal dander, insect stings, shellfish, nuts, most medications, heat, cold, sunlight, emotional stress, exercise and a host of other possibilities. Hives and angioedema can occur in response to the body’s production of antibodies because of immune-system disorders such as cancer, lupus, some thyroid disorders, hepatitis and other infections, and the common cold. Hereditary angioedema is linked with low levels or the abnormal functioning of specific blood proteins that play a rule in regulating how the immune system functions. If symptoms of either condition occur regularly and your physician cannot determine the cause, try a patch test, where an allergen is applied to the patch that is placed on the skin. Latex and medication reactions might be discovered. An intradermal test uses purified allergen extracts that are injected into the skin of the arm and will likely determine whether a person is allergic to one or more substances, such as penicillin or insect venom. Testing that punctures, scratches or pricks the skin should identify food, pollen, animal dander and re-
actions to other substances. Treatment includes over-the-counter diphenhydramine, loratadine, cetirizine and chlorpheniramine; the application of cool, wet compresses; bathing with tepid water sprinkled with baking soda and/or uncooked or colloidal oatmeal; and prescription levocetirizine, hydroxyzine and desloratadine. Severe cases might require the use of an oral corticosteroid. It appears your hives might be triggered primarily by physical and emotional stress. Consider yoga or tai chi instead of walking. Experiment with different water temperatures and soaps when bathing. Try to reduce your exposure to emotionally charged situations, and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing. When something triggers the hives, make a mental note (or keep a journal) and avoid it in the future. In other words, take whatever steps are necessary to reduce your stress level. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Tuesday, Jan. 18 Some clever ideas regarding new ways to add to your income shouldn’t go ignored or unacknowledged in the coming months. Both luck and your own skillful insights will be on your side. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Strive to be totally self-sufficient, because the very person upon whom you’re depending might be hoping to lean on you instead, causing your whole house of cards to collapse. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’ll be completely out of line if you reprimand another for not taking care of something that is totally your responsibility. Trying to pass the buck simply won’t work. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you get an opportunity to do something with friends, have fun and enjoy yourself, but try to do so as inexpensively as possible. If it turns out to be too costly, you’ll regret your extravagance. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Find out what your mate desires before finalizing any plans that you’re making with others. If s/he feels differently about the arrangements, it could spoil the day for both of you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The only way you’re going to find peace is to keep your priorities in order. If you take care of your chores and responsibilities first, you can then relax and recreate freely. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It is imperative that you let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. If you don’t, there is a strong likelihood that you’ll be spending your resources as quickly as you make them. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — As the day grows long, your patience is likely to wane and cause you to become rather harsh or abrupt with those who don’t instantly respond to your wishes. Don’t let this happen. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If there is someplace you must be at a certain time, check the road conditions or your travel plans in case you need to make some necessary changes in order to avoid being late. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone whom you’ve engaged to help you close a deal might ask for his/her fee up front, but it wouldn’t be wise to cough up the dough until after this person has produced what they promised. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Co-workers or associates will be resentful if you place your interests at work above theirs. Be extremely careful that you don’t alienate all future support in order to accommodate today’s desires. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s important that you have faith in your own capabilities and talents. If you don’t, you could let selfdoubt gain the upper hand, and be whipped before you even begin. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Before making any financial commitment that includes a friend, make sure you have your pal’s approval. If s/he doesn’t want any part of it, you’ll be held responsible for this person’s fee. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

To ruff or not to ruff BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
In yesterday’s deal you had to decide whether or not to try the club finesse at trick one. In this deal the choice is between ruffing and not ruffing. South is in four spades, and West leads the heart ace. What should declarer do? South traded on his good distribution for his fourspade raise. West and East allowed the prevailing unfavorable vulnerability to keep them quiet. This was an error (five hearts doubled costs only 200) if — a big if — South was going to play four spades correctly. When in a suit contract, count losers by looking at your own hand (assuming
you have more trumps than the dummy) and taking dummy’s high cards into account. Here, South has two or three losers in diamonds and one in clubs. So, if East holds the diamond ace (a 50 percent shot), there are no worries. But if clubs are 3-2 (as they will be 67.8 percent of the time), South can establish two long club winners, giving him 11 potential tricks: seven spades and four clubs. Here, though, if South ruffs the first trick, draws trumps, and plays on clubs, East gets in and shifts to the diamond queen, killing the contract. At trick one, declarer should not ruff; instead, he should discard a club. Suppose West continues with a second heart (as good as anything). South ruffs, draws trumps, takes his club king and dum-
my’s ace, ruffs a club in his hand, leads a trump to dummy, and discards two diamonds on the long clubs. He loses only one heart and one diamond. Finally, if clubs break badly, South can still hope that East has the diamond ace.
Wall Street exec., author Gordon Murray dies at 60 BURLINGAME, Calif. (AP) — Former Wall Street financial executive Gordon Murray, who co-authored the best-selling “The Investment Answer” after ceasing treatment for terminal brain cancer, has died, his publicist said. He was 60. Murray died at his Burlingame home on Saturday, said publicist Jennifer Musico. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, in 2008. After a recurrence of the disease last year, he declined all further treatment and began writing “The Investment Answer” with coauthor and financial adviser Daniel Goldie. The pair self-published
the primer on financial investing in August, and it became a best-seller after an article about Murray appeared in The New York Times in November. The book’s official website describes it as a straightforward guide that will benefit individual investors, rather than the financial industry giants that employed Murray for more than 25 years. A native of Baltimore, Murray rose from Goldman Sachs bond salesman to managing director for Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston. He retired in 2001 and became a consultant for Dimensional Fund Advisors, an investment
management firm. “The Investment Answer” was acquired by Business Plus and will be published in hardcover on Jan. 25. In a statement Monday, Business Plus publisher Rick Wolff said Murray’s “inspirational spirit and legacy will live on in his honest and forthright book.” Murray is survived by his wife, Randi, and two sons, Ben and Sam. Before he died, Murray requested that no memorial service or funeral be held for him, Musico said. In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the UCSF Foundation, the Cal Parents Fund or the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation.
