Okay. I am very new to this and well, I have not even found a doctor yet. I am forty years old and sometimes think I am pre-menopausal, but never heard of hives being a symptom. I started having hip problems a while back. I have never been very flexible, but now it hurts to just cross my legs. I have been experiencing migraines more frequently, but I just started having different symptoms last week. I did notice I had been eating lots more junk than normal.. I got a headache, felt cold, tired and unmotived for three days. Then I started getting itchie on my knees, elbows and ankles and it appeared to be turning into hives. Benedryl worked once or maybe it was coincidence because I woke up and my skin looked better. Then I went and had a bagel for breakfast and the hives came back. I took Benedryl again, the headache came back and this time I felt like I had a fever, but checked and it was 87.6. I've been searching the net for all kinds of things this could be related to and only found a few. I decided I would recheck my temperature first thing in the morning. I do experience being tired, but then always get a restless night of sleep. I took my temperature at 3:30 am and it was 87.2 and the same at 7 am.
The hives are not as bad today, I have not eaten much with gluten...but a barley wheat grass drink, then noticed my knee started itching again. (not as much, though)
