I have had chronic urticaria since October. I went to an allergist and
all skin testing was negative. After blood testing, it was found I had
Graves Disease for which I was treated with RAI 2-1/2 weeks ago. My
allergist insists that the hives are due to the Graves disease and the
excess hormones that my immune system is attacking. My Endo is
questioning this and has said that just because the thyroid is being
treated doesn't necessarily mean my hives will leave. I am desperate for
information from anyone who can connect hives with Graves Disease.
