DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On 20-Sep-2021, Body temperature: 100-102 (High) 100-102 deg F. On 22-Sep-2021, Body temperature: afebrile (normal) Afebrile. On 22-Sep-2021, Mononucleosis heterophile test: negative (Negative) Mono negative.

On 20 Sep 2021 hives covered most of body's surface area and would last for hours at a time.  On 21 Sep 2021 the symptoms of the previous day worsened.  On 22 Sep 2021 the symptoms had not improved so went to urgent treatment clinic. Received a Intramuscular steroid shot, prescribed a Steroid 6 day dose pack, and told to take Zyrtec and Pepcid twice a day each for one week.  On 23 Sep 2021 hives disappeared, as well as the flu-like and reflux symptoms. Hand symptoms improved as well. The difficulty breathing slightly improved. Breathing would take another two weeks to return to normal.  On 28 Sep 2021 steroids were discontinued. Later that day my hives returned but were less severe. The wheals were smaller and more pinpoint. Had red streaks of urticaria that would arise either spontaneously or in the form of dermatographia. They still would appear in any part of body. Ears, fingers, and toes would randomly get red and warm as well. Taking Zyrtec twice a day and Pepcid AC once a day would lessen the frequency of symptoms, but there were always still breakthrough hives. Since then for the past 4 months have had these same symptoms daily. If do not take Zyrtec, the hives, itchiness, and dermatographia increase in frequency. The hives typically last in the affected area for 30 min to one hour. Over time, the hives and itchiness are decreasing in frequency throughout the day.
