What Causes An Outbreak Of Hives All Over The Body?

I started to experience hives about 8 weeks ago. I m seeing a specialist, Allergist. I m on multiple antihistamines with no resolution of the hives. I m very frustrated because to me they appear to betting worst. Now they are very large. At times join together and make bigger ones. They get very red which makes me think they are very angry. Are warm to touch. Lately I have been getting angioedema and my ankles get swollen. I was tested for some allergies. But, so far all negative. With blood work have been found to be IgG defficient. I do have Hashimotos, which was diagnosed 30 years ago. I wish there was an end to the hives. I really need help. Do you think I should seek another opinion?
