Seriously?

Two weeks ago it was strep throat and now it's an outbreak of hives!  I'm pretty sure it's an allergic reaction to the strep antibiotics but have no time to actually see the doctor to find out.  Needless to say, the past few days have gotten progressively worse - is this what it feels like to have poison ivy (or any other ridiculously itchy ailment)? Going to attempt to put myself out of my misery now =(
