Hives may be associated with autoimmune thyroid disease. Would have thyroid retested including thyroid antibodies to see what is happening now. Hyperthyroidism may be recurring given the symptoms, so important to be tested.

My friend has hashi's and she also has trouble with hives...they did a study on her and found that she was allergic to her own estrogen. Something to look into.
