It comes and goes sometimes, in and out cycles. It never stays for more than 2 hours... It swells up in no time, becomes pretty red and starts itching. Last time I had it just before the peak of a cycle.

No, I had only been on verapamil (80mg, 3x/day) since for 7wks. Dr. wanted me to taper off. After about 1 1/2 wks, I started having HAs that became increasing more intense. Then I broke out in a rash (my entire face and neck, especially around my temples and forehead). Dr. said to increase the verapamil again, but the rash was not related. I couldn't find a dermatologist (I either had to be self-pay or wait until December!) Went to a minor emergency clinic this afternoon. Dr. said it could be stress related acne from the pain. I'm trying some antibiotics to see if they help.

I wonder whether there could be a connection between your rash and the trigeminal (facial) nerve going crazy. Shingles presents as a rash and is nerve related.
