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

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!

Too right. Hope, however irrational, allows you to consider metamorphosis, or at least relief.
