I think I had a form of angiodema. It wasn't chronic but recurring. This means that throughout the years, relatively randomly, with no known triggers, my face has swollen up. My lips, sometimes nose, sometimes my eyelids. It was rare and as a family we decided it was somehow stress related.
It escalated to my fingers and toes swelling. The palms of my hands. and the bottoms of my feet.
I remember very rarely and semi-vaugely getting a hive here or there in small batches. But never long enough to cause concern. Or, again, with any known triggers.
I think it's just somehow built up... To my case of chronic hives. For what feels like forever but is more like the past 3 months I've had chronic hives. And really bad ones.
All up both of my arms, fingers swollen to a point that I can't move them. Hives onmy back, neck, hips, sides, legs. It's usually worse on my hands and arms.
It's fucking unbearable. In the past 3 or so months there has only been one and a half days where I didn't have hives. It felt like the grip of some unforgiving monster finally loosened. And I could relax. and I could breathe.
Cause let me tell you right now... I can't breathe. I can't relax. Hives are frustrating. they're itchy. they make me cranky. I feel helpless against an unknown foe.
UNBEARABLE I SAY!!!!
It has significantly decreased the quality of my life.
