It could be Toxic Shock Ebola Syndrome -- a mutated virus. Are the hives getting worse? Do they look like ordinary hives - or more like a rash?
They're not blistering or anything. Just itchy like fuck.
Maybe I'm mutating. I could go for being an X-Man.
TAR: Well, they didn't lie that the end would be shocking. First to worst!

What will your superpower be?
I don't know. Itchy sort of indicates something ominous, doesn't it? Maybe I'm going to be The Beast or Nightcrawler or Mystique.
Mabye I'm in Stargate: Atlantis and I'm turning into a big blue bug.
Maybe your power is actually the power of transference, because I'm starting to get itchy. So like, you manifest a thing, then foist it off on your nemesiseses. I am not a nemesis, Dana. I am a human being.
I wish the itchies on no one! Except maybe Rush Limbaugh.
Dana, I had totally random hives a few years ago on my arms and legs, that just sort of appeared out of the blue, plauged me with itchiness for a few weeks, and then vanished again. Very strange. I vaguely recall my doctor saying they mght have been caused by an allergic reaction to a virus? Or something. They were exacerbated by heat, I know that, which was fun in a 100-degree summer.
Yeah, I halfway expect the doctor to say "Hell if I know." But some medicine would be nice.
TAR: Damn! I really like them. And I can't stand freaking Charla and Mirna.
Dana, have you tried putting regular old hydro-cortisone cream on them? The virus the kids and I had came with hives (just a few, though), and it worked. I know you kind of don't want them to disappear, so the doctor can see them, but if they're really itching you, cortisone might do the trick. The doctor will probably just ask if you've used new detergent or eaten anything new.
