                        Angela, It sounds like you have chronic urticaria (hives) to the cold.  A test is to put an ice cube on your skin and see if you have a raised area when you take it away..  Check out the web site urticaria Yahoo groups.com.  If you can't find it just e-mail me and I will help you find it.
