A few weeks ago, on Easter Sunday, we spent a few hours outside at the park with our grandbabies while they had an egg hunt. Later that evening, I noticed that my face was itching frequently and when I looked in the mirror I noticed some hives on my face and neck. I took some Benadryl and by morning they were gone. But, I spent the next week itchy. No rash or hives, but my body would itch in various places all day.
Yesterday, we were at the park again with the grandbabies. Last night, about 6 hours after I got home, I started breaking out again just on my face and neck. But this time it was much more severe and my face was very red and burned/stung more than it itched. I took Benadryl but it just kept getting worse so I went to the ER. The doctor said asked if I had used sunscreen and when I told her no, she suggested that it might be from exposure to the sun. In the ER they gave me a big dose of prednisone and I took 2 double doses of Benadryl overnight and the hives were gone this morning when I got up. My face still has a slight reddish tint though and I still feel burning here and there.
Is this something that would be fibro related? Or do I need to investigate further? I'm scared to go out in the sun at the moment :???:

Sadly in all these years I've been part of this forum and other support groups, I had never heard about something like this. I might be wrong, but maybe this is not fibro related. You should really investigate further, specially when it comes to new symptoms. I've been saying it this a long time ago, but here I go again: never assume everything is related or caused by fibro, if you notice something new get it checked out; don't ignore new symptoms.
