Hi All,
First, I am glad/sad that there are othere of you who are nite owls, not by choice.

{lease feel free to email me anytime you all are up late.}

I have a guestion.
At age 15 I woke one morning with my left foot and ankle a giant Hive. The hive moved thru-out my body.

I had giant hives inside and out, yes in the mouth, throat, tongue etc. I missed 6 months of school. It kinda looked like elephantitus.
I lived on Benadryl and atarax.

These hives in the last 20 yrs only come when there is severe pressure/irritaion to the skin. Very mild now and Atarx stops it.

I am now 56. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with Lyme. My symptoms are skin burning/twitching/eye blurriness, etc.

Well, you all know the question. COuld the hives at age 15 been Lyme?

remember tho. I am in IL where we have no LYME-DUH. I spent alot of time with horses.

Thank YOU
Peace,
BJG

I had the giant hives just before I got married at 19. I was a nervous wreck and that's what probably brought them out.

I thing I've had lyme since I was a kid, also.

Thank you for posting and getting responses.

I really don't want to start beleiving that EVERYTHING we have is from Lyme, but wierd, not explainable stuff fits Lyme.
