Last year I developed hives all over my body that became chronic. When I say all over I mean covering every inch, even my face, they looked like an allergic reaction. they would not go away for months even with extreme steroids (which I gained 35 pounds from) and I missed an entire marking period of school because of it. the allergy doctor had no answer, it was not an allergic reaction to anything it just...happened. They called it chronic idiopathic urticaria.

This year I have the hives under control but I now have developed chronic migraines that do not go away, I'm in and out of the hospital getting migraine cocktail iv's every other week, and they took a CAT scan even and said everything was normal. I've never had migraines before this year.

Is my anxiety and stress manifesting as physical symptoms? And why is it that they don't go away without serious drugs and medical interference if its anxiety related? Why do more illnesses pop up when one is controlled? Opinions? Thoughts? Questions? Why is my body trying to kill itself? Help?
