Hives help!!!!!
Second the Benadryl recommendation and to call the doctor if it continues. You've possibly eaten something that's caused an allergic reaction, and it may be something you've eaten multiple times in the past with no problems. Can you think of anything new you've eaten? Have you switched laundry detergents or fabric softener? Something like that could be causing the problem as well.
Good luck! Hives all over can be maddening; I hope you get some relief soon.

How miserable you must be! I hope the Benadryl is working and you found the culprit. I woke up the day after Christmas with my face completely swollen (eyes shut and everything). I was allergic to some new anti-aging cream I got as a gift from my hubby. What an expensive laugh. Then after surgery in November 2013, I found out I was allergic to latex from the band-aids and steri-strips. So I understand how miserable you are.
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

Hives are awful! For my kids they always liked when I effectively painted them head to toe with clear calamine and gave them Benadryl. Nothing else but time seemed to help. My SIL puts her kids in a tub with some anti-itch meds in the water.
Hope you feel better soon!
