I had almost exactly these symptoms twice in my life, as a kid. It stumped doctors then, too. It was not Schnitzler syndrome: it was not chronic and in the longest case only lasted a few weeks to maybe a couple of months. However, while I never did get a "name" for the illness doctors came to the conclusion that my immune system greatly overreacted to something and went into a crazy state of attack - hives, persistent fever, painful skin, pain all the way through my bones, etc.
I wish I could put a name to what it was - I do not think my case was rare and a name does exist, but I was too young to have been told at the time.
