Urticaria~ Big ole honking rash. Looks like I have been whipped. And/or that I have a major case of ringworm. I have combined pressure/heat/stress urticaria, which basically means, if I have any of the above, I will rash out. I can't wear rings, because of the pressure, same with tight fitting clothes. Pantyhose? Not in several years, but that wasn't a hardship.
Can't dye my hair, even with the holistic yada yada from Whole Foods, because the dye makes my head look like a klingon. If I drive for too long, or wear high heeled shoes, that put pressure in different pressure points, or use a mouse for too long, I develop hives under my skin, that basically feels like golf balls have been implanted in my hands or feet.
The antihistamines help. I will pretty much do whatever I can to avoid the steroids. Which, are the primary medication for this stuff. Yippideedoodah.
