Hives Condition Finally Diagnosed

(United States)

I have been tested a lot when I was young because I wasn’t able to do daily things. I would cry because this hives condition bothered me so much. No one knew what it was and even the doctor I went to would see it and say they had no clue what it was but that they would call if anything popped up. They pretty much all thought I was crazy.

I gave up trying to figure out what was "wrong" with me by the age of 7, but now I am 18 and going to Pima college. I have to do an oral report for my biology class on something that interests us, so I chose to give it one more try to see what I have and I came upon dermatographism. I feel a sense of relief now because I can put a name on what I have and I can educate more people on it so maybe there will be a cure.
