Any Ideas?? Please?

I need help. I'm not one to typically complain, but this time I will. I am suffering from hives. I have broken out with hives every evening for the past four days. Except today, I broke out around 2:30. I am doing nothing out of the ordinary and the only thing I possibly have been doing different is using a lotion on my face. But I have no hives on my face and the hives didn't show up until a week or so after I started using the lotion, so I don't think that is it. The hives go up and down my legs, around my waist and last night were also seen on my arms. I am not stressed, it is not poison ivy, and they appear whether I am at home or am out. They are driving me crazy. Any ideas as to what may be causing them? It is so odd because they will be gone in the morning, but will be back by evening. Someone suggested that maybe I was pregnant, but I tested negative, so that's not it. If it keeps happening, I'll call my doctor on Monday to see what he thinks, but in the mean time any suggestions??

Bethany, you and Davin are in the same boat! He has been getting hives every day more or less for a couple of weeks. I have done nothing different. They are only on his face, though. Weird, but I'm glad he's not alone;)

If we figure ours out, we will let you know. Right now it is still a mystery.

Please excuse the picture of some random person's midriff, but it looked exactly like what I have!

Bethany said...

That is strange!

That is very strange, to not be able to connect it to anything. I know that your mom used to get hives too. You aren't using a new laundry detergent are you? Michael got hives all over his midriff once from a change in laundry soap. It was something I had used before that used to be okay.

No new laundry soap...

Hey! No hives this evening! Yea!! Maybe they won't come back...

Heather said...

I hope they have stayed away:) And, I thought the picture of the midriff was you and I was thinking how skinny you are after having a baby!!

Bethany said...

Tee-hee... It was me! And I felt so guilty for putting a picture of my tummy on my blog, that I had to get rid of it... You know how I really hate pictures of tummies in Facebook ads!

I really thought it was you until you said this. You are a turkey!

Heather said...

I agree, Martha! I thought it was Bethany and then she said it was a random person and now the truth is.... it's Bethany!!! Bethany, you are NOT a random person;)
