Hives (urticaria) are raised, red spots on the skin that often itch. Hives are usually indicative of an allergic reaction. Hives are a common reaction in people who have allergies. A number of substances can trigger an outbreak of hives, including foods, medications, pollen, animal dander, or insect bites.
Hives can also develop as a result of sun or cold exposure, infections, excessive perspiration, and emotional stress. The reason why stress seems to precipitate an outbreak of hives in many people is not completely understood but is likely related to the known effects of stress on the immune system. In many cases, the cause of hives in a given individual cannot be identified.

Yikes! I hope you sued the socks off that 'hospital'!
Yes, stress really can cause reactions like that.
Since you can't seem to change the circumstances you live with, you'll have to change something else.
Try learning meditation or Yoga: I understand both of those are good for reducing stress levels. If you can, join a gym too so you can work out there and hopefully take out some of the stress there.
Good luck!

Yes. Stress can cause hives. Mine started when I was in the military. Have had it for almost 20 years. They call it chronic uticria. Which is chronic hives. I have hives almost every day, especially when I'am really stressed. I take two meds to control them, Allegra and Singulair. Good luck! Sorry for your loss.

I used to be so stressed out. I have learned to give it all to God and let him handle it. i have felt so much better. Give it all to God. Pray about it.
Stress sucks and can be so bad that it can kill a person. It can cause all kinds of health related problems.
