The gift that keeps on giving

I'm not really surprised anymore when I wake up with some jacked up new symptom, but I thought I'd pop in real quick and see if anyone knows if this is lyme related. I just assume all of my symptoms are, because I was pretty healthy before this mess.

I woke up 2 days ago and started getting hives on my arms that itched like crazy. One day later, they're all over my body, feet, legs, back, chest, even my head! Super super itchy. Could it be a herx or something? I doubt its from the meds... I've been on minocycline and rifampin for a month now with no issues yet.

Ditto to what Mojo said about it possibly being an allergy. But DO read this article about anaphylaxis to make sure it isn't this much more serious problem.

Or you could go to an Urgent Care facility.

Drew it seems like it is an allergy. Take a Benadryl and see what happens. If not gone by Monday call your doctor. If it was confined to one area I would say herx but your sounds more like an allergy.

Oh! And it has also been accompanied by a chronic sore throat that came out of nowhere as well. I haven't had any sinus stuff happening, so I know it's not a cold coming on.
