Ok, I'll play. My guess is hives from an allergic reaction to something. Do we win something if we're right. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I second this diagnosis. Are the spots symmetrical on the left & right sides of your body?

ohh some bad shell fish?

Go get an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and use a topical antihistamine like hydrocortisone. This will help with the itching.

Definetly go see a doctor.

Hives most likely, but shingles (brrrrr!) a small possibility.

Certain parts of my body itch terribly - at times my hips, arms, calves, back, neck, in varying degrees of severity. All itchy spots are reddened, some have little bumps.

Consistent with an allergic reaction.

My glottis (the hanging thing at the back of your mouth) is swollen and it hurts to swallow food and liquid. I can feel how big it is in my throat. (comedians, don't bother)

That's your uvula, by the way. Given the other symptoms, this is also consistent with an acute allergic reaction.

I brought my fever down with about 12 bottles of water, but there was a fever yesterday.

Muscles are stiff. I'm not coughing but I have a sore throat.

For the time being I'm taking Tylenol Cold/Flu and vitamin C.

Fever and muscle stiffness are also symptoms of an acute allergic reaction. I'm guessing you have chills, too.

Get to the ER if you have trouble breathing (tightness in your chest or throat) or if your fingers/toes start turning blue.

Try Benadryl to treat your current symptoms.

That'll be $485. I don't accept BC/BS.
