WTF?!

So, I have a massive case of hives. The doctors don't know why I got them. They can be caused by any number of things. My doc thinks probably stress. They aren't on my torso any more, but come and go in small spots on my cace and are on my legs. Here's a sample from my left leg.

Yuck. I got hives last summer, after picking blueberries (though I've since eaten blueberries and no hives). The hives were all over my arms, legs, stomach and back. Thomas Ward was at our house and seemed completely grossed out by me. Luckily for me, the hives went away in a day. I hope you are as lucky, too.

I wound up in the emergency room Monday night. I think I was freaking out about them being on my face, and got short of breath and had trouble swallowing. So, I got benadryl and prednazone and znatac in an IV. Knocked that crap right out! The photo was from the day after. Today, no sign of it. Jen Macneil says I'm allergic to Iowa.

What more proof do you need? I'm not a doctor, but I like to pretend sometimes. My Rx = move back to Missouri. :) We're a balmy 7 degrees right now.

But in all seriousness - I hope you feel better soon. Allergic reactions can be scary.
