Default New nightly ritual...Hives!

OK I feel the need to apologize for saying my legs were having a case of stupid yesterday. Apparently the spinal lesions heard me and they are NOT happy. I randomly broke out in hives last night on both of my legs and my chest. Then all day I battled the knee trying to pop out while I was trying to stand or walk... and again tonight, my legs start itching and sure enough hives again!

Holy Crow! I think I am allergic to MS!!

Seriously I have not changed any meds, still use the same detergent, soap, fabric softener, shampoo, conditioner, shave gel, and moisturizers. The only thing I have changed in the last couple of weeks is my face wash... which I use on my face. I haven't changed my diet too drastically, stress levels are normal, nothing major going on that is freaking me out worse than usual. Have had a bit more depression lately but that comes every year when it gets cold outside.

So I don't know what is causing this. What I do know is I am getting to the point that I am taking benedryl every day. And have been for 2 weeks. I also know the more I take a med the less effective it becomes. This is insane.

Now it may be worth mentioning that I did break out in hives not too long around the incision from the surgery. But that was my own fault (forgot to check the new bandages for latex warning). I know what caused it and it was quickly remedied with benedryl cream and pills.

But my legs are itching from the inside if that makes sense. They itch, but my skin is numb, so scratching does me no good. This isn't "itchy I am scratching myself to death and I can't feel it " rash, it really is hives.
