Hives update

My hives are much better than they were, but I am still getting small flares up occasionally. Unlike before, when I needed cold packs and BenGay/calamine lotion, I can take a Benadryl now and they will go away. I'm really leaning towards the tetanus shot as the cause. I think the fact that the severity has decreased over time but not quite disappeared yet supports that, too. The toxin takes ~2 weeks to be cleared from the body, although the antibodies stick around for years. We're at two weeks and two days. Hopefully the small flare ups will stop soon. I plan on going to an allergist soon to get tested, because I really really don't want that to happen again.
