IgE: Greetings. An elevated IgE with Hives and fatigue is most probably linked to an allergic source. There are other causes that may require further work up. See your doctor to discuss your next step.

Chronic hives???: Daily hives for more than 6 weeks is defined as chronic urticaria. In the absence of an obvious cause such as aspirin, no allergy is likely to be found. Most chronic urticaria is autoimmune and elevated IgE is usual. A dermatologist rather than an allergist is the best Dr for this. Duration is variable from months to years. Avoid aspirin and alcohol. Zyrtec (cetirizine) 1, 2, or 3 a day is usually

? Chronic urticaria: If you already had the hives for more than 6 weeks,most of the time there is no clear cause for it,but in your case you have hypothyroidism, many cases resolve with the correction of hypothyroidism,or the control of some auto-antibodies against your thyroid tissue,an endocrinologist would help you better,that would relieve your fatigue,hi IgE is irrelevant, you can still have it with normal values
