so last night my thighs decided to get covered in hives
they were not too itchy - unless I accidently rubbed them
this morning they are still flared (even after 50 mg of benedryl last night) and I am going to lay off the wheat products again
who really knows if wheat is the cause, as it isn't an instant reaction
in fact who knows WHAT really is the cause
but wheat seems to be the most logical as I have been indulging in it since the holidays - not massive quantities mind you, but still - it has been more in my diet than before and I have not had a flare like this for a long time
I think it is sort of a cumulative sort of thing. I can have small amounts without too much issue and then I keep having small amounts and then BLAM - itchy evil hives
and really it is better for my body as a whole to limit the stuff.
it's all an experiment tho so we shall see what happens
