However, if I'm in the sun and start toget hot, hives appear, head is punding, ect. I then get in the shade and that alone helps...or I go inside. Take care I hop this helps you....Shelley "

" One of the symptoms of my Lupus was hives when being in the sun. I had NO clue at the time. I thought I was allergic to the sun tan products.

Thanks..
