Last weekend, I went hiking out at the Horsetail Falls area. Everything was great until the end when I felt hives coming on.
Back story...I started breaking out in hives in the early 90's and averaged about 2-3 a year up until about 2004. A couple bad breakouts, but controllable if you have a antihistamine tablet with you.
Anyway, I can see the end of the trail about 100 yards away. Feeling real weak and about to pass out. Now, It's never been this bad...a racing heartbeat, but that's about it. I get to where I can sit down and I tell my friend to get her car and come get me. I'm sitting there and my vision gets real bright and blurry. I'm praying someone comes by and happens to have a tablet on them. Sure enough, someone does! An hour passes and beyond being REALLY tired, I get up and start walking to the car as she hasn't come by yet. A sheriffs car slows down next to me and my friends daughter pops out the back and mentions they called an ambulance, because, apparently, I looked worse than I thought.
Anyhoo...I refuse treatment at this point as I'm back to normal.
My hives have been gone for about 5 years. Why did they come back? I've never been able to pinpoint what sets it off...
