Hives: Chronic hives of over 6weeks duration deserve work up as it can be a sign of serious underlying disease. For potential causes: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/137362-overview#aw2aab6b2b3aa. They are not associated with fibromyalgia and suggest an alternative diagnosis. A virtual consult to discuss triggers and treatment options can help.
