Unnamed Rash

Hives in my scalp
Itching like crazy
Travel to neck and face
Irritating but not inbearable

Neck has itchy bumps against bumps
Scratching until I bleed
People begin to question me
Urging me to go home
I get off work and go to Urgent Care

The next day I am in hospital
Screaming in agony as they try to decide
Is it a bad hive against hive or shingles?
This is my life today.  As I cringe from pain.

I am so sorry Caren how very uncomfortable you sound. No fun when you are not doing your best.
