Thanks dude. Spent the day re checking mattress, bed frame , drawers and anything else i could think of but nothing definitive. Im gonna try isolating the bed next and see what happens

If this is new to the last four days, it’s not a problem big enough to lose sleep over or imagine hundreds crawling on you.

No one here can diagnose the problem with this information.

But I can say, it wouldn’t hurt to take defensive measures even if just for your mental and emotional well being.

Clean, de clutter, inspect resting and sleeping areas weekly. Make your bed an island, don’t let it touch the walls. Don’t let bedding touching the floor. Try to fashion something to intercept any bugs which might try and crawl up bed legs (most people use interceptors. You can make your own with tupper wear from a dollar store).

Perhaps think about what comes in contact with your body and what locations and variables have recently been introduced. Lots of possible causes.

When the problem is unknown, focus on general defense and identification. In my experience, just doing something proactive helps with the mental and emotional stress.

Yeah. to be honest the entire visit lasted less than 5 minutes and he only looked at nearly-faded hives in a couple of spots.  Seemed a bit dismissive at the time.

Wait, the doctor said unknown allergic reaction and just left it at that?  Get another doctor immediately. 

Hives can be caused by a huge range of things, bed bugs are unlikely unless you have seen one or been in contact with an infested area.  You are only jumping to bed bugs because of the night time / sleeping connection but I think that's too big a leap.  Get to a doctor and have them run tests until they figure this out.  There are a lot of possible underlying health concerns for hives.

Due to the nature of bed bug bites varying significantly from person to person, the ability to identify of a bed bug infestation based on bites alone is very limited. Unless you have other evidence of bed bugs, do not take any of the advice replied as more than speculation! Do check out the sidebar [guide on monitoring](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/comments/3f5zro/crispys_diy_ipm_strategy_for_bed_bugs/) for other evidence to look for, and feel free to post again if you have more questions or bed bug ID requests etc.

I'm in a similar predicament. I've actually given up my one-year-and-three-months long guerilla war against these things because my family members aren't moralized to remove the infestation.

In the last 4 days, every time i wake up my body is covered with [this](https://imgur.com/a/1IAB9vG) stuff. Those picture are just this morning. Usually the welts (or hives?) progress briefly after i wake up and then they mostly disappear in a few hours. 

On the second day went to the doctor and he said the cause was Urticaria by unknown cause.

Now, having read a lot of information on bed bugs i searched my room for a possible clue of an infestation. I had a look inside and out my mattress, sheets, frame, spring box, wall skirt, door, desk, chair and so forth. No sign of skin, poop, stains, live or dead bugs. I feel i'm going crazy. Last night i could barley sleep. I kept thinking about those damn things crawling all over me and running away in their hiding spot and making hundreds more. I'm absolutely shitting myself at the moment and would really appreciate if you guys had a look at those bites  and gave me your opinion on it. Cheers

I Know that im not supposed to post bites but please help.
