@kimspr3 - I did some minor research on marijuana’s effect on the immune system. There has been research on marijuana’s effect on the immune system and other functions. It appears to have an immunosuppressive effect- this would explain the disappearance of the hives. On the other hand, in the long run it could make you more susceptible to certain cancers.
For more answers you probably could talk to immunologists and rheumatologists about treatment if or when they return. Endocrinologists may not deal with immunological issues on a regular basis.
I agree with you- we have to learn to advocate for ourselves!

Ingegerd, I just saw your reply. Thank You for researching. All this makes sense. I have a lot to learn. I will be seeing a new Endocrinologist end of Oct. I can't wait. She has a good background, which could mean nothing, I'll be positive. I do know, all the blood wk. can come back normal and yet there there is a underlining problem. So far dr's will not look. I don't understand. My hair is falling out so badly, hope new doc will find the problem. You are so right did not think of it, Endocrinologists do not deal with the immune system. I only smoked in the 60's. Life was different than. Wishing you a good evening
