First off, just because you were never allergic to something in the past doesn't mean you can't become allergic to it. My girlfriend has sporadic problems with hives and the doctor told her she has an allergy to basil and ibuprofen. Despite the fact that she tries to stay away from both of those things, she breaks out in hives on occassion. I would guess you have an allergy to an airborne particle. Perhaps mold or dust. Just as a test, I would spend a week in Arizona to see if your problem clears up.

Wow I'm so sorry! Have you tried specialists such as dermatologist or allergists? That's pretty sad if none of those doctors can figure it out. If you woke up with it maybe its dust mites that can live in your bedding. Wash your bedding in hot water every two weeks. There are also plastic zip lock devices for mattresses and pillows that will keep dust mites out. Its an idea.....I would keep shopping for a new Doc. Good luck.

Have the doctors tested for allergies? Have you seen a dermatologist? Could be something in the furniture or your mattress? Dust mites?
I have had out breaks in the past. So I know your pain! Mine I figured out was stress related!

You must find out what you are allergic to. Perhaps it is something in your diet or a particular fabric, as you seem to be sure it is not a soap , shampoo or cosmetic. It can also be psychosomatic. Perhaps you are tense about a new job or relationship.
