a common cold'll fool ya and whooping cough will cool ya

lion, ivoted, me, sadie
Why do I have a small number of itchy white bumps on my left hand?

Why is that number increasing every few minutes?

Why is that hand's ring finger swollen to the second knuckle?

Why did I work until 10:00 tonight?

Why does WebMD always conclude that I'm going to die from my symptoms, regardless of what those symptoms are?

I'm guessing hives, probably from a food allergy you have. But without more info, I can't make a better undereducated guess.

In other news: My beesting itches like a mother. Grr.

Hiiiiives? I don't want hiiiiives. Hives are something that happen to other people. Of all the maladies, I never had hives! And if I become allergic to something else, when I finally think I'm losing my 7-year sensitivity to onions and garlic, I will . . .I don't know. Be upset.

But thanks for the suggestions!

I gave up and tried to get to sleep on my itchy hand (it wasn't that hard, it turned out) and most of the bumps are gone this morning. I considered CD, but I've only experienced that in regard to certain plants (including fir Christmas trees; so tragic!) and then my hand just gets all angrily red and burny. And I didn't even touch anything weird, since I went right from work to home and then to bed! Ugh, why do things keep freaking out with my body?

Hmm...
Perhaps your skin is telling you what I'm telling you - DONT WORK UNTIL TEN! ;)

you are probably bottling a lot of stress with the roommate situation - that could be coming out in a hivey type deal. It's amazing how the body reacts to stress at times.
