Home sick today w/HIVES!!!!!

I'm staying home tomorrow also. Boooo!! I am so so itchy!! I started to break out yesterday at around 4pm. I have NEVER had an allergic reaction to anything in my life. The doc thinks it was strawberries. I've always eaten them, but he said I could be allergic to the pesticides they spray on them; it's a common allergy!

I'm soooooooooooo ITCHY!!!!!!!

Re: Home sick today w/HIVES!!!!!

I am allergic to strawberries.. and tons of other food. Sometimes I get a bad reaction, sometimes nothing.

but Hives are annoying. My arms get it the worst. I find that putting something cold on it instead of itching soothes it a bit.

I know how annoying it feels. I hope you feel better soon

Im sorry. i know how annoying it is..

When my legs get covered I wet a washcloth with really cold water and use it like a compress.. I dont think I could handle a cold bath..

I have gotten them before from stress a long time ago. It was horrible. I know what you are going through. Hang in there.

Re: Home sick today w/HIVES!!!!!

I was wondering why I had a missed call from you in the middle of the day today.

(dont worry, my mom filled me in on everything. LOL)

I'll call you on my way to church tonight. Feel better sweetie pie!
