Hives

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a bite on my wrist.  A little while later a couple of more... then I was clawing my thigh off.  I could not figure out what was wrong with me.  I would all of a sudden get a hot spot and then start itching really bad.  I let it go a couple of days and randomly throughout the day I would get random spots popping up, they would itch like crazy and then be gone within the hour.  Then the next day new ones would pop up in different spots.  I finally went to Legacy ER and they thought it was a bite of some sort, gave me a steroid shot and off I went.  

I am sure they thought I was crazy because the bites kept "disappearing".  So I started taking pictures to prove that I am NOT crazy.  The shot did NOTHING for me.  I decided to make an appointment at the dermatologist.  I went and of course the bumps that were there when I called were GONE by the time I got to the appointment.  Glad I took pictures so they knew I was not making it up.  

My diagnosis, HIVES!  These are caused by stress, exercise and blah blah blah.  They can last up to a month.  The doctor gave me a pill to help with the itching and knock me out while I sleep.  I was waking up clawing myself to death.  Lets just say, the pills knocked me out and I felt like I was still drugged the next morning.
