Reply to comment by rshenanigens in Eli5: What is the bodies process of breaking out in hives? by Relevant_Sail_7336

Ah thanks. Interesting. I’ve been on a wild medical journey the past five years. Have been to so many specialists and still have no answers. My blood work shows high levels of eosinophils and I am ANA positive. Have had worsening broken capillaries for about five years - started on face and now down to chest. Hives and severe itching started within last few months/weeks.

Ooof dude that's way above my wheel house. I got basics down but no where near that level of knowledge. I liked your original post cause I tell new Medics the same thing! I did work in a OR for a while and from experience ANA positive is super indicative of autoimmune but any more then that I'm clueless. I'm sorry about all that brother, it insane we know so much and so little that "medical mysteries" still exists. All the best wishes, when you get better here soon, come reply and lmk!
