N3TCR: more hives this AM.

so i couldn't find the benedryl last night and they weren't itchy so i just went to bed and woke up COVERED in red spots and itchy form head to toe!!! i look like a damned leper. i got down to my panties and spun for DH to inspect me while i cried at the sight of my skin. he grabbed me 3 benedryl to take and took a shower with me and assured me i was beautiful and it was fine and would be gone by tomorrow and if not or if i have trouble breathing we'd go to the hospital. we figured out the only thing different was maybe grandma's laundry detergent on the sheets we slept in this weekend and my arms were the most exposed skin during the night. i've only had hives once before with the old bath and body works apple body wash like fifteen years ago....we're going with that theory...or that i am allergic to NY. it could be nerves too DH says. i have my HR (third!) interview at 2pm today (thankfully on the phone so they don't see my nasty spotted, red skin)...i have been stressed cause DH's bitter divorced step-cousin (who i am friends with his EX wife) won't stop just showing up unannounced and uninvited and not leaving...but that's a WHOLE nother vent... Angry

    honestly,as an ER nurse, I will tell you that hives all over your body might require slightly more than benadryl. You might need a shot of steroid or a short course of prednisone.

    Might be worth a phone call to the doctor.

     I hope you feel better soon.

    Or you might need some meds with steroids, says my DH! ER physician agrees with shot as an option also depends on how severe they are!
