This is my right arm on Tuesday afternoon at about 4.00 PM... You can find the story about my hives and what all I think causes them HERE... I would call this out-break mild... I had a hives event on June 1 that caused me to go post haste to the infirmary at the university... that event was probably the worst one I've ever experienced... from each wrist up to my shoulders... on my torso... and as the nurse said when she gave me an injection, 'you even have these on your rear...'
So... I go to bed Tuesday night and awaken at 2.00 AM with the worst abdominal pains... having had kidney stones before, I knew what the Hell this was...
I made it to the bathroom... because the first thing that happens is very bad vomiting... and then the pain sets in... I tried several times to call BoyShoes to get him to come and run me to the ER... but he was asleep... and probably had his phone turned off...
For about 4 1/2 hours, I rolled on the floor and moaned and groaned... God they hurt... if you've had them before, you know what I am talking about...
Finally about 6.30, the pain eased... and I was able to go to bed... stayed in bed all day yesterday... Finally felt like getting up for a bit last night...
I have a dr's appointment later today... and was googling 'hives' so I would have some questions to ask when I get to see the doctor... On WebMD, I found something that really caught my attention... it said that in extreme cases of hives (urticaria), the welts can form on the lining of the stomach... and create a pain similar to that of... kidney stones...
Anyhoo...
I've got a couple of jokes for you...
One of them really isn't a joke... its more of a definition...
Rodeo Sex: When you enter your partner from the rear, wrap her hair around one of your hands... cup the other one under her grasping one of her breasts... then you tell her that she almost feels as good as her sister... and you try to hang on for eight seconds...
*sound of crickets chirping... *
Do you know the difference between a homosexual and a refrigerator??
The refrigerator doesn't fart when you pull the meat out...
Now, before any one bashes me, I heard this joke from a gay friend of mine...
So THERE!!!!

You poor guy, that looks just miserable. I hope the doctor is able to help you out a bit. We'll save the car ride for another day. Feel better!!!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing!!! I also hope the doctor can help you out.
ReplyDeleteThose jokes are funny, btw.
So do you have kidney stones and hives or just the hives? Either way that has got to suck. I always have my phone on at night. Tink always assumes it is okay to text and call at 4:00 am.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow Batman! That sucks, hives AND maybe kidney stones!
ReplyDeleteRodeo sex...forgot about that one, ha!
oh, hives are the WORST. i get them when i touch rabbit fur. no angora sweaters for this girl.
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon!
See, if you had Life Alert (as shown on tv) you could have pushed your life saving button and alerted the authorities you had an emergency. Never be without your Life Alert!
ReplyDeleteIs your secret name Jobe?
ReplyDelete::hugs::
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awful. Your condition and the jokes !
You need some sympathy sex. Pronto.
Aww, poor Shoes! Hope you're feeling better soon.

GAWD, I am feeling SO much better!!! I don't get sick often, but when I do I tend to get my money's worth...
ReplyDelete@ Just Another Girl... the hives alone were miserable... the kidney stones (if that is indeed what that other episode was) were horrible... I may be up for that car ride...
@ Spring Flower... as my luck would have it, the hives were absent when I went to the dr... but all in all, Im so much better today...
@ Bathwater... I survived both of them... as for the hives, the dr recommended that I just take a benadryl tablet every six hours and try to stay ahead of the outbreaks... so far, so good on that approach... the kidney stones? I hope it passed...
@ Urban Cowboy... Yeah.. well... we are told God doesn't give us anything we can't handle... I just figure maybe I pissed him off a bit... Yeah, I hope all is well your way!!
@ Hi there, Magnolia... so rabbit causes you to break out? Some of the info Ive read relative to hives is that over 85% of outbreaks are never resolved as to cause...
What about fake rabbit fur?? ;o)
@ Peggy Sue... I thought that Life Alert was just for if I fell and couldn't get up... ;o) No?? When I talked to my son later, he said he had turned his phone off that night... and that he hardly EVER turns it off... Does Life Alert work kinda like the Clapper light switch???
@ Charlene... LOL... no, but my initials DO spell Job... Mom told me when I was a kid that I would grow up to be rich and famous... I asked her how she knew that... and she said, because your initials spell a word... The story of Job is heart breaking...
@ Senorita... :o( I KNOW my condition sounded awful... but my jokes too??? *cries* Yum... sympathy sex does sound like a great cure... now if I could just arrange a provider... :oD
@ Tuppence!!! I am much better today, THANK you!!! How are things on your side of the pond?? :oD

This post is old but I wanted to tell you that I just went to the doctor cause of kidney pain and he told me that I have a kidney stone. I also have hives and dont know where they have came from. Wondering if kidney stones and hives are so how related?
ReplyDeleteHi there, Anonymous... there easily could be some correlation... if the kidneys aren't functioning fully, then it makes sense that it would be possible for impurities to remain in the blood stream and cause those things.
ReplyDeleteFortunately for me, the hives have been handled well by benedryl... feel free to email me if you would like to share info.
My intial hive problem was caused by being stung by yellow jackets... I blogged about that somewhere as well...
I can so identify with what you are talking about...
