Heavenlygarcia,
This is a little off topic but I noticed you said that after a hot
shower you break out in hives. Have any of the hives turned into
'freckles'?
I have a rare disease called Mastocytosis. One of the first symptoms I
had was the hives from hot baths, the sun, the cold (you name it!) I
also suffered from endo and ,after the hysterectomy, abdominal ahesions
(3 surgerys since then to unstick my insides!)
I don't know if you suffer any other symptoms, this is my first time on
here so I know nothing about you but that hives thing really struck a
note with me.
