How do you deal with out of control hives?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

@darginskylisa Hives are so miserable and often unbearable when you can’t get comfortable. I had them for brief time do to a blood product reaction and it was worse than pain. So you have my sincerest empathy if this is a continual issue!
There can be underlying causes for this to happen such as thyroid condtions, blood/bone marrow condtions, autoimmune diseases, reactions to meds, allergies…the list goes on. It is important, though sometimes challenging, to find that underlying cause.

There are other members in Connect discussing similar events. Here is one conversation…a little dated but still relevant.

Have you been to see any specialists for your hives such as an allergist, dermatologist, endocrinologist or rheumatologist to check for underlying health issues?
