A member asked:
Allergist told wife the chronic hives she getting are not an allergy reaction to anything it is her immune system reacting back as hives bcos of ra ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probable: About 30% of the chronic hives are considered autoimmune in nature, and thus the diagnosis is made through guilty by association with an autoimmune disease. However there are other potential causes for chronic hives but the cause may never be found in most cases despite exhaustive studies.
