Urticaria

I'm not sure I understand your question. Uticaria is defined at an allergic reaction to something that causes hives and itching. Chronic Uticaria is long term hives and itching with no known cause or unknown cause.

And yes, I have to agree...autoimmune diseases are crazy! Every year I get something new as well.

Weals from Uticaria can result in swollen eyelids, lips etc caused by allergic reactions or non-allergic reactions, but there is no way of telling whether or not it can or will get to that point. Not everyone with Uticaria will have the Angioedema sometimes associated with Uticaria. It's the (un)luck of the draw unfortunately. Some people may just have it mild with mild itching while others can have it severe. It mainly depends on how your body is going to react.

I'm not sure all people with different auto immune conditions will have acid reflux but I do know that many people with digestive issues can develop it. I have acid reflux as well as gastritis. I have had Uc for 18 years but it wasn't until about 4 or 5 years ago that I started developing stomach issues.
