Several years ago, I was struck with a couple of severe allergic reactions. We never did figure out what had caused them, but fortunately they have not returned. (knock, knock)
The first time, I just got big monstrous hives. The second time my palms itched, then my fingers swelled up like balloons and my entire torso turned bright red and started swelling. I got paranoid that I was going to have trouble breathing, so took two Benedryl and headed to the hospital.
Horrible, frightening, and oh so uncomfortable. I hope you're feeling better today.
