[quote=Anonymous]I got hives randomly last spring. I'd never gotten them before. It was terrifying. They started in the day, I thought it was mosquito bites. I woke up in the middle of the night, my legs were covered thigh to toe, it was seriously like a nightmare. The next morning they were gone, then by the evening I was covered head to toe, especially around my hips, thighs, all over my legs, and stomach (none on my face and fewer on my arms).

It was the most horrifying experience - I had no idea what they were from. They went away and, knock on wood, have never come back. I have no allergies or skin issues, had not traveled anywhere or eaten anything different.

FWIW, I had not gotten a vaccine of any sort for several years. So I know that hives have many causes. I never figured out what happened or where they came from. Are we sure all of these cases are triggered by vaccines, and if so, if it is just your body reacting to something foreign and working through it. It seems like you could get hives from anything. I blamed mine on something I had encountered that my body was fine with pre-pregnancy, but post pregnancy something had chemically changed. But it was just a guess.[/quote]
