Urticaria / Hives during the month of March

[Guest guest]

I primarily have hives on my hands and feet. However, I've noticed

that my knees and elbows have some as well. Joint related? My wife

is a firm believer that this onset of hives is stress related. Three

weeks ago I started a new job and a week before I started I noticed them.

The odd thing is last year I was skin tested for allergy's and I am

severely allergic to everything environmental. Dust, dander, grasses,

weeds, and trees. All of which are rated at 4+. I found this out

during my first ultimate Frisbee league. So...there was a reason for

all the itching, swelling, and asthma issues during the summer. Maybe

there is something in bloom during March that cause these symptoms.

What I don't understand is why are my hives only isolated to

my hands and feet. Has any other fellow samster's suffers noticed this?
