Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Meni, we are certainly anxious to hear what is causing this problem for you. Could it be a yeast bloom by any chance? Please give us an update as soon as you can. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Meniowl, are you having your liver function checked regularly? An ailing liver can cause hives, I have heard. And you said you have been on Rezulin, plus a lot of supplements? Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Bummer, Meni!!! Let us know what the doc says. If it's your thyroid meds, you can go back on the MSM, maybe? It really helps the glucosamine-chondroitin to work. Hang in there! Barb -------------- RAINBOW FARM UNLTD.

I don't believe it is yeast as my BS are fine and yeast usually starts in the folds doesn't it? <<<<<<<Meniowl, are you having your liver function checked regularly?

I have never been on Rezulin. You must be confusing me with someone else. My Dr. is off this week so I got her associate tonight. I brought all the pills that I take. Thought he was gonna crap when he saw all of them. Looks like I could run my own pharmacy! So he said to STOP taking everything unless it was life threatening. He took me off Armour = ( and is starting me on a low dosage of Levothroid...bummer cause I am starting from scratch again. It takes a while to increase thyroid meds and I was doing so good on the Armour. He gave me Atarax for the hives/itchiness. And God am I itchy!

No way to tell since I was taking lots of different things. I was guessing it was my thyroid med because I just increased it and I had stopped all the other vitamins and stuff yesterday. He does not think it is the thyroid but he changed it anyway. The MSM contains sulfa and I know that I am allergic to sulfa so that is still out. Bummer part is I have to stop the glucosamine-chondroitin also now. He said it will take 2-3 weeks for these hives to clear up, then I can start adding the supplements one at a time and to wait 2-3 weeks with each one!
