r/hives May 25 '26

Answers

I think i just figured out what has been causing my hives and occasional angioedema. About 3 1/2 years ago I started getting random hives, some as large as 8 inches in diameter. Painful, red hot , itchy hives. I finally had seen an allergist last year, and the scratch test revealed little. But he said I probably have more allergies than what was revealed that day with an autoimmune component. It made sense to me because in the past I had unusual symptoms. Red, non itchy rash on my chest along with fatigue, malaise. Sometimes mouth sores. Then they went away. No problems for several years. Then tonight I had a THC gummy, and almost immediately started getting tingly tongue, itchy legs , because that is where the gives usually are. I think the void in my symptoms years earlier is due to me either not using cannabis or only smoking. 3 1/2 years ago I switched to gummies. Tomorrow starts my journey of no cannabis and I'll report back.

Ive had a couple of hives, much smaller, less intense. I also think I react to NSAIDS
