Hi. On around Jan 14th, I broke out in a severe case of hives on my arms, later that night half of my tongue swelled. I didn't know what else to do so I took a couple benadryl but that did nothing. Later the next day, hives again, but no tongue issues. Random fingers and thumb swelling. Not just the joints, but the pads, in between, or even the palms. But very tight, red, itchy, painful. The hives get extreme, frequently end up dark red and connected. They are mostly centered on my forearms and back of upper arms, but now they've also spread to my back and buttocks. I may have a day or two without, but the hives are pretty much daily, even though the swelling is not. But the swelling is frequent. Yesterday one side of my wrist swelled, today the bottom of my foot and I can barely walk on it. I can occasionally feel my mouth and face get tingly, but, except for the one time, no swelling. The only thing different in my life that I can think of is extreme emotional stress. I try not to take anything, but when it gets really bad, I have to take a Xanax and benadryl to survive it. Please can anyone help? I'm sorry this is so long
