When chronic hives with no known external triggers first start

Getting diagnosed with chronic hives with no known external triggers can take time, but these tips can help you communicate clearly and get answers sooner.

Provide records

Share concrete evidence of your symptoms, such as photos or notes, to facilitate more productive conversations.

Download the My Hives and Itch Tracker for an easy way to keep a record of your symptoms.

Leave nothing out

Be as detailed as possible. Make sure your doctor understands the severity of what you’re experiencing.

Track ongoing symptoms

Note when the hives happen, how long they last, how intense they are, and whether or not your current treatment plan is helping.

Bring a full medication record

Include the names, doses, and how long you’ve been taking each medication.

Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself

It’s okay to advocate for yourself and let your doctor know you want another treatment option. When it’s clear that antihistamines aren’t working well enough alone ask about RHAPSIDO® (remibrutinib).
