I ate dinner, showered, then laid down for a bit in my room to nap off a mild yet annoying headache. I woke up 45 minutes later covered in head to toe hives. I haven't eaten anything unusual or new today. No new soaps, lotions or detergents. I am itchy and confused. The worst is my right arm since that's the side I was laying on, but I always have them on my face, both arms, legs, and even my belly. WTF!?

Did one of you put a curse on me or something?

What did you wear to bed? Be as detailed as possible.

Photos probably would be helpful.

Were you riding a tractor in your bathing suit?

smartass.


I took some Benadryl. But I'm still itchy.

peeps should have just gotten an alert on his pager and will be here within the hour

what did you eat all day? That could be it.

Also, consider washing your sheets.

maybe it's the implants

I'm gonna have to see your chest to fully diagnose this disorder. Don't worry, I'm a professional.

I can't figure out what I could be reacting to! Maybe I'm dying. You don't know!
Known allergies:

Blueberries, my whole life.
Eggplant, Sucralose, usually just give me a sore throat.
Lots of soaps and detergents, but I get small pimple-like bumps from these, never full on hives.


How long does it usually take to get hives after eating something you're allergic to? I had a fruit danish thing from a bakery this afternoon. The box came from our outside office that's only open in the morning, and it was half empty. The one I ate was definitely raspberry, but maybe it was made with or next to a blueberry one?

My belly has some hives, but for the record, my boobies and girlie parts are thusfar hive-free. :p

What am I supposed to have had implanted in the 45 minutes whilst I slept?



OOOhhhhh, I get it, that's a crack at my boobs.

No go. They're real. I would not have done this to myself on purpose.

Have you been in contact with Mike Schmidt lately?

Thought about the sheets. Them and my blankets were freshly washed on Saturday, so it's unlikely I'd be having a reaction now.

Were you in a sandbox? My daughter got hives from a sandbox.

Have you been involved in any clinical studies recently?

NaT, google search "polymorphous light eruption" and see if you qualify. I did for a few years. It has since cleared up for me but it was horrid. Absolutely horrid.
