Do non-ige pseudoallergies get worse over time? i've had hives for 4 years; now know it is nsaid-related, but it hasn't worsened. always mild hives.

Chronic urticaria: Chronic urticaria is not always allergy related and can worsen with nsaids. In some cases it can be autoimmune. It is good that it has remained stable over the years and mild. A daily antihistamine should control the symptoms. It can go through flares from time to time and can remit on its own also.
