Hi! I had a very similar story. I suffered with Chronic hives for 12 years. I only recently started finding relief. I drink 2 table spoons of Apple cider vinegar a night and drink 4-5 water bottles a day. Since starting this My hives are 98% cleared. The ACV is a miracle. I completely recumbent trying it. If you do, purchase ACV that says "contains the mother" on the bottle. That means the healthiest part of the apple hasn't been removed during processing. Also as a catholic I spent a year praying to st. jude the saint of hopeless cases and things almost despaired of. I prayed he would help me find a cure without having to use any drugs. I was granted a miracle which i truly thank st. jude for. I hope the ACV helps, and if it doesn't and if you are catholic (or open to prayer out of desperation) I reccomend purchasing a St. Jude candle and saying the prayer. Good luck!!
