hey, and let's not go overboard with the lawyer hate either...

I used to have chronic hives, then I moved many states away and in about three years they were completely gone. (It looked most similar to your picture #3.) It wasn't diet or sun related, because I'd get them in the middle of the night and with completely different diets. Have you considered moving somewhere with a completely different climate for college?

me too! your story gave me chills, thanks for sharing.

No worries, I think almost all hives cases are different, so what works for me may not work for you. Just wanted to point out it took years of a different climate for them to go away, so just going on vacation wouldn't be the same.

One more thing I forgot to mention in my post... To the extent the itching is a problem, I found a ton of relief with aloe vera. Way better than the steroid stuff!

I hated seafood as a kid and love it now, so maybe there's still a chance!
