The hives are back in full force and they won't go away and I want to die.

No dying :(

Oatmeal bath?

*hugs*

I know, I know, I won't really die. I did the oatmeal bath thing tonight, which is a testament to how miserable I was to begin with, because oatmeal is about my least favorite thing in the world. I mean, it looks like vomit...

You're totally right, it does. But did it help at all?

[jianantonic.livejournal.com]

It helped a little bit...I'm better but not well.

I was thinking good no-hive thoughts for you last night, hoping you were more comfortable!

Are you able to go back to work today?

[jianantonic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I went back yesterday. It's really cold in my office and I think that helps more than anything.

Do you think it could be related to heat? Or that at least seems to be aggravating it, huh?

[jianantonic.livejournal.com]

I think the cold just makes my skin less sensitive in general. You're supposed to take cooler baths and showers when your skin is irritated, so I guess heat does aggravate it.

claritin now makes an anti-hive over the counter pill. worth a try?

[jianantonic.livejournal.com]

I'm taking it. The thing is, it's so strong, you can only take one pill a day, and it wears off after a few hours.
