Holly Crap! It is 1:30 am and I am up itching my skin off.
I have been dealing with hives for the past 3 months. For no KNOWN reason, I break out in these ugly red splotches of pure itchyness. They come out of no where and cause me major craziness. Right now I have them on the backs of my thigh - my inner thigh - my outside corner of my left eye and under my left armpit.
I have had them cause my lip to swell on three different occasions. No problem with the breathing so far though. But last week I had to go to the hospital because the hives hit my hand and made my ring finger swell up so fast that I couldn't get my wedding ring off. The finger swelled so big they had to "cut" my ring off my finger.
I have an appointment with an Allergist on Fri and was told not to take any Benadryl for four days prior to the appointment. Benadryl is the ONLY thing that I have found to STOP the itch. So here I am . . . trying to calculate whether 1:30 am counts as Monday.
Screw it! I'm taking the Benadryl.
