Thanks. idiopathic urticaria is how one of them conveniently diagnosed it two years ago. But I am unconvinced. For starters, until this year the timing has been pretty consistent. This year it was about to start at its usual time, but then I left for NYC and stayed there and it didn't come back. It only returned about a month after I went back to Toronto.

Secondly, it always begins with badly swollen lips and then progresses to hives.

Thirdly, some allergy medication is mildly effective.

But I've done extensive allergy tests they all came back negative. So my guess is that there is a combination of a virus lurking in my system and accumulation of some allergens that then combine to trigger this.

This year I clearly have two separate but possibly related issues. In general the hives are terrible, but they do not cause me to have the other symptoms that I've had.

At one point in time my blood pressure dropped so low that the machine could not measure it. I thought the machine was broken, so my wife tested it on herself. It worked. It just could not go low enough to measure my BP, I had to admin rapid first aid to myself by drinking lots of Gatorade and soaking in a hot tub so I don't go into shock. My resting heart rate after having been in bed for hours was over 120.

The hives were the obvious thing. But there is something else is going on too.
