i hate allergies!

i was anaphylaxic once. we never found the cause of why. hives are itchy!!! my face puffed up and i could barely open my eyes and was panting. i've had extreme itchiness ever since that one episode. i was tested for allergies and nothing came positive. i eliminated most perfumes and fragrances around me and that seemed to help. it's possible my allergies are due to my trauma reaction. if i find a cure for my mental issues, the itchiness will go away too.

if you have swelling and breathing problems, make sure you get yourself to a hospital's emergency room.

phone your psychiatrist about the hives. it may be a side effect of psych meds.
