Let’s talk about autoimmune disease and hives. Well, potentially any autoimmune disease can create a problem with hives, with a histamine kind of a reaction.
But thyroid conditions are particularly one condition which is linked most with hives more than many other types of autoimmune diseases. But I also have seen it with Sjogrens, and sometimes with rheumatoid arthritis you can get hives.
So whenever you’re going to get an immune system that’s attacking part of itself it’s not difficult for that immune system to overexpress itself and develop a high level of inflammatory mediators which can distribute through the body and cause chronic skin itching and all kinds of problems like that.
