Gripe moment: I've had unexplained full-body hives for the last 3 days, only partially managed with prednisone + 2x the max daily dose of antihistamine. Except for a few hours when the meds are at full efficacy, absolutely everything itches. Am miserable. Send kittens
Somewhat nervous that this might be an early sign of thyroid failure or thyroid-related autoimmune disease, which runs in my immediate family — although I know rationally it's way too early to put much weight on that
FWIW it's these experiences that make me feel that we've done a terrible thing in cutting off opioid access for chronic pain patients (vs just focusing on avoiding them for one-offs, e.g. post-surgical care, the on-ramp for much of the overdose problem)
When you're enduring something really really aversive there's a HUGE difference between "this never stops, there is no way to make this stop" and "I have to wait a while, but soon I will feel better for a few hours." It really makes so much more awful stuff tolerable
Vain AF, but I am not completely loving roaming around Venice Beach in July looking like a probable Patient Zero amongst all the professional hotties. Maybe I need to just lean in, terrorize some fellow Whole Foods shoppers, make a person or two reconsider their vaccine stance
The hives aren't resolving at all. I tried to hold off from medicating this morning (woke up itching around 3am, managed to successfully get back to sleep), but now I'm having difficulty not breaking the skin & bleeding from all the scratching. Time for Urgent Care, methinks 
Really good news: the hives started to calm down by late morning (still red and itchy, but the welts began to flatten), then slowly disappeared throughout the day. Almost entirely gone now. I haven't taken anything for them in ~10 hours, so I think this might be over!
Thanks to everyone who reached out with ideas about what this might be and what might work for it, esp those who've dealt with this before! This was truly an awful few days; I don't know how you guys with multi-week symptoms plowed through without ripping your skins off, frankly!
It may just be the bugs and the trees in your bedroom.
I doubt it, hives aren't usually a seasonal allergy issue (when due to allergies, usually meds or food), and nothing in my apartment is any more common a trigger for allergies than standard houseplants or garden critters
Yeah, I do that all the time. I work a blue collar job and I get back pain a lot. My mom got bone cancer and she just thought she had back pain when it started, so I get super paranoid all the time when I feel any sort of back pain that I can't explain.
