[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLEASE don't tell me the hives are going to last a month! I just broke out this morning about 36 hrs after my H1N1 shot. They were gone all day....but now it's back. I need these to go away asap they are horrible![/quote]

I had hives twice in my life, and both episodes lasted an entire season (fall and worse yet, summer).  You may be lucky; they may disappear once whatever is aggravating you is removed from your system.  But finding the root cause is difficult.  I went to my MD first, who put me on an antihistamine, and when that failed, I was referred to an allergist who couldn't find anything from the tests.

They were on my lips, my eyelids, and the worst spot of all - the soles of my feet.  I couldn't walk.

Hang in there.  They WILL go away, as I doubt your case is as severe as mine.  But if not, visit your doctor and have him/her prescribe you something to alleviate the itch.  And avoid hot baths/showers.  The heat only aggravates them - as does, unfortunately, exercise in some cases.[/quote]
