                        Last December of 2000 about a week before Christmas I started breaking out with hives and at times experience diffiuclty breathing.  I also have vitiligo and that is a good question you asked about them being related.  I would like to know the answer also.  Although I really don't think they are related.  The only thing I can connect is to is that I was taking diet herbal vitamins Therotrim/Starlight International, which would sometimes give me heartburn.  I cannot think of anything new that I came in contact with around that time but that.    Write back
