I am a 30 yo, female and a few months ago I had the same problem. There was nothing new in my diet or environment as well. I just woke up one morning covered in hives that was really itchy. I went to the ER and the doc said it was definitely an allergic reaction that caused hives. He prescribed me some medication (steroids...prednesone and medipac). It did help subside the hives. I went to an allergist who couldn't really pin point what caused it. Long story short, I had all kinds of allergy tests done and the environmental test came back mostly positive. I think I had used a cream containing all organic plant based extracts and I believe that's what caused my hives breakout. Try to go through your routine again from that day and see if you came into contact with something in the area where you had the reaction. For example, if you where outside, did you rub against a plant? or like me try a new cream, etc....I hope this helps!View Thread
