I have the worst hives ever!

[deutschman]

Faaaaaaaa!!!! Never had hives before. This sucks! Itchy ugliness every where and my lips are swollen! WTF!!! I think it was the shrimp I had last night but I can not be sure. I have been eating shrimp my whole life, but lately at work when I work with shrimp it makes my nose itch uncontrollably.

Bummer. I got hives a few months ago for the first time and it sucked. I was allergic to medication after oral surgery. I finally went to the Dr. after my whole body was covered, i didn't know hives could be deadly. Seriously, if you start feeling weird or have trouble breathing get to the E.R. as soon as you can.

[deutschman]

i will. so far its just itchy badness and swollen lips. it started last night and it has not gotten worse so i think i am fine for now. ill make sure i tell my boss at work, so that he knows whats up encase i freak out.
i took some antihistamines this morning. webmd said that should help some.

Get some Benadryl. Hives really suck, and it CAN be life threatening (windpipe can get swollen i think) I've had a few pretty serious attacks but none for like 3 years (WTF?!).

[LJ851]

^ Yes, it's a massive histamine response from your body. If it gets really bad they give you epinephrine to stop/block the response.

My neighbor's mother died from a swollen windpipe last spring when she ate some shrimp at a Memorial Day cookout.

Yeah I have had the swollen wind pipe before and it is not much fun. Actualy kind of scary.
