Happy Graduation, Love Your Body

About a month before I graduated high school I started to get hives.  At first I thought they were bug bites, but quickly realized they were hives.  They started on the backs of my legs and eventually spread over my entire body.  It was the worst.

See, doesn't that look like so much fun? These lasted about a year (not always that bad).  I definitely learned tricks to help them get better or what made them worse (like ibprofin and hot water).

So why am I bringing this up now? Well you see, graduation from college is a week away.  And what do you know, I woke up with hives this morning.  They are definitely not even CLOSE to being that bad.  There are only a few small ones on my right shoulder blade.  I'm really hoping this is just a one time thing for now.  The doctors never figured out what was causing them before, but always blamed it on stress.  Well, if that's the case then I'm doomed.  Just thinking about them possibly coming back like that stresses me out to no end.  So we'll see......
