The last four days I've been breaking out in Hives and it is driving me crazy! Lately it always seems to be something with me, I feel like I can't catch a break and it is becoming a little depressing. In the last four months I've had what was possibly the H1N1 virus which led to an extremely bad case of bronchitis that I'm still not 100% over with (insane I know), I'm just getting over a sinus infection and have something torn in my neck! I hate to complain but I just need a few moments to vent.
Tonight I did a bunch of reading on the internet and read many different things on Hives and tried to pin point where mine are coming from, all I have to say is HA! lol... that is because I can pin point more than one thing lol. I could be getting hives from a viral infecting, the antibiotics I've been on, the pain meds I've been on, allergies or some people get them just because!
When I was a kid I was in a rare group of people who got hives from cold. I had to take a few different medications and wasn't allowed to be outside unless I was walking to the car and back. I don't recall much of it now but I think there was some concern with potential blocking of my airways. It only lasted one winter and hasn't shown back up since. I just hope that this isn't going to be one of those weird things again and goes away now that I have stopped taking the medications!
I have also heard that this year is going to be a very bad year for people with allergies so maybe it is a reaction to something. That would make sense too since all the plants are starting to grow. My son had his friend come over after school for a sleep over but I had to call his Mom to come and pick him up about half an hour ago because he couldn't breathe because his allergies were sooo bad! Poor Liam was so upset that his friend had to leave but Cole's Mom couldn't get him any meds due to all the drama going on with the pharmacies. His allergies were that bad, I feel so bad for the little guy, he was crying (I think he felt a little panicked).
Anyway, so I'm sure by now you can see why it would be hard for me to pin point what is causing it,,, if anything is even causing it according to some of my reading. All I can do at this point is wait 3 days and if I'm still getting them I know it wasn't the meds. Other than that I am just going to have to take my Benadryl and pray that this goes away in a few days... hopefully not weeks! I just hope more than anything that I don't have another funky allergy like I did with the cold that one winter and I hope it isn't chronic hives (lasting longer than 6 weeks). Anyone else deal with something like this? Let me know, and let me know how you coped.
Cheers all : )

Just when you think that things can't get any worse, they find a way of doing just that! :( Don't worry: someday this will seem like the same old, same old. You'll find that eventually you'll be able to find you've always had ways of smiling & joking when others think it's not so easy to do. Makes us women stronger than the men but shhhh; they haven't clued in yet over the last few centuries.
