I'm 23 years old and and I have been suffering from this condition since I was 15 years old. I have an anxiety disorder and everytime I get upset, nervous, mad, excited about something, or even sometimes when I get in the sun I break out in hives. They rarely ever last over 20 to 30 minutes and they go from my face down my chest down the tops of my arms and a little ways down my back. If I don't get real upset they will only appear on my face and chest and may last only 5 or 10 minutes. When I'm in the sun the hives seem to only appear on my legs. I have lived a shelter life because of this and have missed out on so many things because I wanted to do and be a part of but, because of how embarassing this is I havn't. If anyone knows a way to treat this, please let me know. I want to get on with my life and lead a normal life. I want to have normal emtional feelings that everyone else has and not morph into this red splotched up creature. If anyone has some advice please write me. Annaleigh
