THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN TO THIS SIGHT. I AM 29 AND I HAVE HAD HIVES FOR 6 YEARS. MOST OF MY TIME IS SPENT SCRATCHING MY SELF WITH A HAIR BRUSH. I TELL MYSELF THIS IS A BAD IDEA, BECAUSE I KNOW MY SKIN IS GOING TO FEEL BRUISED IF I DON'T STOP. I'M FED UP I'M TIRED OF GOING TO BED(WHEN I CAN SLEEP THAT IS) AND WAKING UP LIKE I WAS IN A BOXING MATCH IN MY SLEEP. I NEVER KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN I WAKE UP. I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSP. SEEN ALOT OF DOCTOR'S, PAID ALOT OF COPAYS. ONLY TO LEAVE THE SAME WAY I CAME IN. WHAT DO I DO????? THE PILLS DON'T WORK, TRYING NOT TO SCRATCH WILL DRIVE YOU INSANE. AND IF THIS ISN'T ENOUGH I HAVE A SKIN DISORDER CALLED VITILIGO (WHITE PATCHES ON THE SKIN) COULD THE TWO DISORDERS BE CONNECTED???? I'M AT A LOSS FOR ANSWERS. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS WHOLE TALK SIGHT WORKS, BUT I'M TIRED OF CRYING, I'M TIRED OF THE SWELLING, AND I'M TIRED OF ITCHING!!!!
