Youāve probably already tried, butā¦ Couldnāt you rule allergies in / out by taking a big 'ol dose of benadryl? If it responds, then most likely an allergy. If not, back to square one?
Iām so not a doctor. In fact my doctor loves me for openly believing that and doing as instructed. I suggest the same, always.

Infections should also respond to antihistamines but doing this could make things worse.

Was in ER earlier today because of some of the pain and relentless itchā¦
They basically did big dose of Benadryl and steroids and something else via IVā¦ worked pretty good for about 1 hour and then back to itching and swelling
Prescribed a bunch of steroids and Benadryl and I think pepcid which is also a thing for this
Currently no ideas whatās causing itā¦
I was just making sure Iām not overlooking implants as a causeā¦ but they arenāt painful or swollen in any wayā¦ they are just along for the ride as I take a rasp file to
My skin

Super random question: have you been in close contact with mushroom spores? Asking because I have known more than a few people that have developed totally random allergies after growing edible mushrooms in tight spaces indoors.
Edit: emphasis placed on āedibleā because I expect snickering.

In one continuous transition from one to the next since December
Some kind of flu from nephew patient 0
Vasectomy recovery
Bronchitis (that grew from lingering cough from flu above)
Other flu from spouse who go it somewhere
Now rash / hives / angioedema of hands
Itās been a long 2 months of being sick or recovering with no breaksā¦ Iām sure my immune system wants to have a word
Feels like a post viral reaction, make sense for that, but ER doc is saying it looks more like an allergic reaction than that
To be clear, Iām not accusing DT productsā¦ or anything like thatā¦ Iām more just trying to understand what signs I should look for that it might be implant relatedā¦ and do I mention or not to a possible immunologist in the future? Iām kinda cynical of most medical professionals outlook on the subject of grinding and donāt want to let them use my implants as a scape goatā¦ but it also might be worth mentioning to rule out also?
My basic understanding / grasp , I feel like the site of a foreign object in my body, that it wants to react to like this, or is some kind of infection, would show some kind of localized signā¦ and Iām not really seeing that
My right hand is the one that started swelling first, about 4 days agoā¦ and it is stock
My left hand with subdermal fun, only just started being a pain yesterday
On main body, I get areas of hives that seem to flair up quite rapidly if I do any scratchingā¦ but Iām not sure if the initial scratches are because it was starting to flair up or the cause 
ā¦ shits weird
To those suggesting lotion soap etcā¦donāt really use lotionā¦ no new soap,
literally nothing newā¦ itās been 2 months of eat sleep work repeat
Only worked 2 days in the last 5 days Iāve been having the reactionā¦. Nothing new at workā¦ donāt really use much exciting at work since I just quality check product at the endā¦ acetone, via a pump top bottom and qtipsā¦ never gets on my skinā¦ an acid, but I donāt think I use more than a single drop every 2-3 weeks
Also if any of the flair ups have only ever happened 4-5 hours after I GET homeā¦ so that would be 10-15 hours after any exposure, which seem kinda too delayed

bad dum diss
Sorta? Googles sort of auto overview thing is ā¦.fine
But with everything medical itās sort of intentionally vague to cover outliers and everyone wants to be better safe than sorryā¦ but it winds up just making everything murky
Itās currently 5:56 am for meā¦ Iāve yet to go to bed
I typically fall asleep around 7-9am EST and wake up around 2ish?

I always quote to coworkers the bane line from Batman
I work nights because Iām nocturnal, you are nocturnal because you work nightsā¦ we are not the same
If I went feral without needing to schedule around work:ā¦ I naturally end up around 11am bed time
I do have have DSPS a circadian rhythm disorder, been like this since probably elementary school
The number of times I tell people I canāt do xyz in the morning because Iām nocturnal because I have a thingā¦ I canāt just go to be āearlyā doesnāt work like that
And they say shit like
āWeāll have you just triedā¦ laying downā¦ not movingā¦ and closing your eyes?ā
Did you just propose to solve my sleep disorderā¦ byā¦ trying to go to sleep?
Gee why didnāt I think of that?!

Maybe something changed at home? Mold, maybe? Clean or replace the filter on your furnace. Or perhaps get it serviced as this includes a proper cleaning of the AC coil.
Or did you get your HVAC serviced and your reacting to the coil cleaner?
Check stuff like beds, bathrooms, and other places where bugs and mold might develop.
You couldāve asked for a full list of symptoms to sound a little more human. But TBH, itās probably better not to be human.
Itās even worse when they are the type of people who follow that Canadian self help nutjobā¦ āGet disciplined, you lazy sloth. And sacrifice as much as possibleā is not helpful at all. I tend to call those idiots āBenitoā but being the only one who knows history makes this pointless.
