More times than I can count. I used to get them chronically and take daily medication to prevent them. That hasn't been necessary for years, but I still get episodes once in a while.
Keep an eye on them. I have to take prednisone to clear up an episode of hives. The last time I didn't hit the steroid right away I ended up with one eye swelling shut and my joints starting to freeze up. Not that this would happen to you or anything, it's just a caution to not dismiss them if they start to spread or look like they're getting worse.
Otherwise, dose up on the benedryl and take a nap until it stops itching.
