Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ali, I can sympathize with you on that score. My hives (urticaria) which I don't get too often these days (no how to avoid many of my causes now) were never related to my being hypo per se but I know how miserable they can be. Dry skin and scalp and fine sparce hair or visible hair loss were my hypo skin and hair symptoms. But as I said I can sympathize with you. Besides the cold compresses or the cortizone creams do anithistamines work for you. They work for me but I hear that some folks are not that fortunate to be able to get instant relief from their more severe hive attacks from antihistamines. Lee > > Hi guys > > Thanks for the post .

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 In fact to the contrary, I am worrying that maybe I will be more prone to them when and if I get to a more optimum normal level which might raise my normal under the skin tissues temp. Oh well, I will cross that bridge of mine if and when I get to it. I can always decrease my dose if I have problems. I guess if you have any of the cold allergy type hives (some folks do you know) you might be more prone to getting hives when you are more hypo just like I am wondering about hyper so that my tissues don't get too warmed up from more FT3. Maybe I am concerning myslef too prematurely and all will be just fine and dandy with more FT3. Have to try it. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Lee > > > > Hi guys > > > > Thanks for the post .

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Prednsone can be harmful but so can hives, they can go to the throat and cause it to swell and we know what can happen. sometimes you have to weight the options and none is really the best. I know it can cause elevated BS which can lead to diabetis, that is what happened to me, did n't know about aggravating the thyroid prolbem. Are you hypo or hyper.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hives are itchy red/pink blotches on the skin. They can grow to the size of plates (I've experienced this) and are raised off the body. They can burn and feel very hot. They itch like the dickens. The hives can start small and there may be several small ones that grow into one large hive. After a few hours, they go away but can 'move' to other parts of the body. I get hives quite frequently. I have ulcerative colitis and Hashimoto's...both autoimmune diseases. When my u. c. is under control, the hives can act up--my skin rather than my colon gets inflamed. It's horrible, terrible... I took Prednisone for a couple of months and I think it made my thyroid conditon worse--but the hives have been gone for nearly two years.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The reason that your friend isn't doing well... I'll bet is because of one of three things. Her dose is too low Her body isn't able to process the synthetic (for whatever reason, up to and including that she hasn't been told the right way to take it) Her adrenals are too fatigued There are folks that do will on Synthroid and the other generics, I hate saying that because of how poorly I did on it... but it's only fair to make mention that some do well on it cuz everyone needs to have options as they sort through all of this and make decisions. Docs seem to want to prescribe the synthetics first, so knowing about both types (synthetic and natural) is in OUR best interest. If synthetics do work for you.. well, that's actually pretty cool, you get to be one of the lucky ones that get to do the 'one pill in the morning and you'll be just like new' thing and life is pretty nifty.... for the rest of us we have to take a few more steps to help our bodies. It's all a matter of figuring out our individual needs when it comes to nutrition and hormone replacement. That's basically what we are doing. Just like a diabetic is watching the balance with blood sugar and insulin.. we are watching the balance with thyroid hormones, ours is just a bit trickier to do since there is a delay factor, it's not the seconds/minutes that are involved with the insulin stuff. It's my understanding that hives are an allergic reaction. So it's a matter of figuring out what is triggering the reaction. My first guess would be something you are eating. I have a hive thing that hits my thumbs and index fingers, I'd LOVE for someone to explain why just there.... I'm working on figuring out what triggers it.. they itch like mad.... Okay, back to the hormones... I've got a page set up on the ThyroPhoenix site that runs through the hormones, labs and choices for meds (hormone replacement). It's there as an easy spot to be able to review that stuff until you get it ingrained in your brain and be able to use that information as you go through labs and med choices and such with your doc. If you understand it you will be able to discuss things with him/her and not just sit there all lost and confused cuz you have no idea what he's talking about... Knowledge is power. www.thyrophoenix.com/thyroid_101.htm Topper () On Tue, 08 May 2007 01:30:16 -0000 " Alison Ahmuty " alioop11@...> writes: > Hi guys > > Thanks for the post .

I don't have any allergies, so he really didn't know. I had them any time I stayed outside in the cold. Only on my thighs and bottom. And only one more out break since then,( after exercise). It can't be exercise, I try to workout 4 or 5 days a week. It is still a mystery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 <<<<>>>>> , Take notice of the position of your fingers/hands on the steering wheel while driving. Are your index and thumbs more prone to press harder the more intense the traffic or your maybe more urgent need to get somewhere without incumbrances? Maybe you have " pressure hives or dermagraphism " ?. I had a car with little finger troughs in the steering wheel and that was the car that used to do me in regularly with 8 fingers getting itchy and inflamed and sometimes bloody (if I lost self control) at a time (before I was officially diagnosed) when I was battling so called " allergies and skin reactions of unknown origin " . Also I might add that pressure hives/dermagraphism is something whose classic symptoms have to be visible to an allergist before he can officially diagnose you. I had mine picked up purely by accident while I was to the allergist for totally another reason. Wouldn't you know it. You can go in 10 times and not get a diagnosis but go in for something else and there you are finally getting diagnosed for what you did not expect and this time were not even there for.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Good thought.... I don't drive... I lost my car within months of losing my house, after losing my job. The parts that get 'the inch' aren't on the parts of the fingers or thumbs that come in contact when I grab or hold things. Picture making a fist and coughing into it. Where the top part of the index finger touches under your nose and the major knuckle of the thumb touches your chin... is exactly the spots. Both hands the same way. I don't wear gloves or mittens. Don't use strong cleaning chemicals. Don't have any critters or plants that I'm getting scratched or scuffed by. I don't cough all the time, I've actually tired paying attention to that, if the itching hits during a time when I'm coughing during dry weather or what not... nope, no link. Can happen any time of the year. It might last a day or two or a week or two, never know which. Just have to make a conscious effort to not scratch cuz I'll scratch them bloody. If it's really bad I'll wear socks on my hands when I go to bed so as not to scratch in my sleep. Can't think of anything else right now.... Oh.. not linked to my menstrual cycle. I tracked that, just to be sure. But I dont' use commercial products for that any more either, not when I found out what they make the stuff out of..

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Another topic which (after this) we might have to save for off the listserve if no one else on here has such issues or cares to hear too much about this maybe thyroid unrelated topic. Yours both are on knuckles though. And thus pressure could be getting applied from just touching those knuckle areas. It must be something that you do with both hands maybe even at same time. You don't use a rolling pin do you. I never dreamed when things were really roilled up that anyone could get hives from the shower water beating on their skin and I used to have hives walking out of the shower. Finally I read about someone else having that. I thought it was the heat until I learned that little bit. For awhile I was telling a friend that I thought that I maybe had something where I got from under my SKIN a reaction ABOVE a knuckle what she or folks like her with RA got INSIDE a knuckle or joint. I also have non itchy burn spot reaction which will show up on me with any applied friction. My driver side car's shoulder belt's edge would only do that to me about once or twice (two separate time) per year where I would have to put the darn thing under my arm for a week or so and try to heal what was like a rug burn on my side neck. No longer have that car with it's groovy steering wheel and it's shoulder strap. The well tolerated conversion van with shoulder strap that sliced it's edge side into my neck 355 days per year without leaving a mark. But gave me a friction blister and burn 10 days out of the year. Lee > > Good thought.... I don't drive...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I do use a rolling pin... not more than once, sometimes twice a week. I'm one that doesn't use the handles though, I use the palms of my hands on the main part. I pick it up to move it by hooking my thumbs under the handles.. that could account for the thumbs.. the same part of the thumbs that itch are hitting the handles.. but doesn't account for the index fingers.... but it would be more consistent if it were the cause, I would think. I pretty much bake bread every week... Hmmmm... I'm a scratch cooker/baker. Wash dishes by hand daily. The house is almost always too hot for me.. but I get the 'itchy fingers' when the folks are away for their two month winter vacation and I drop the thermostat 15 to 20 degrees, too. I haven't been able to link it to any particular part of the year. We're not too far off topic yet.. others are dealing with hives.. maybe as we bring up different theories it might hit home for others.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Nice to meet you. Don't feel so bad Lili. I never heard of adrenal sufficiency and a few other things until Topper and/or someone else brought it up and began discussing it on this support group and I have been taking Full Thyroid medication (been mostly euthyroid tho) for a very long time. At least it got me googling for what they were talking about if nothing else. That is why we are here though. To learn and support one another. And as with any support group we tend to learn things we did not intend to or ever think we would. LOL like " hives " (a wierd american word LOL) I am so glad I joined this group last week. I like the variety here. Must admit it is hard for me to always know what's what with everyone but when Topper seems to know whose who and whats what that is what matters most I figure.

I remember being told that..no allergies or because I was allergic to medications, I would not have other allergies.. Of course my allergist keeps adding up my list of allergies.. Mind you a good allergist should also be able to tell you if you have no allergies.. JMO..though..it sounds more of an iritation..caould be from either switching to an ultra laundry detergent or the clothes not being rinsed well enough( too much soap?) ..the area you describe tends to be a common area where clothes rub and can cause iritation whether you are hot or cold.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I got hives a few times right after I quit smoking. I was at work and was under a lot of stress, and broke out in hives all over my arms, chest, neck and back. I have Hashimoto's and looking back, perhaps this was a time when I was going through the "hyper" phase? If nothing else, I think the hives might have been stress induced, especially since I had just given up the thing that I used to deal with stress, which was smoking. Re: Hives? >> Hi guys> > Thanks for the post . Next question: Have any of you ever gotten > hives real bad on your arms? Just the other day my right arm starting > breaking out in hives. Could this also be related to hypo? > >I wish I knew if it was related or not. My doc reffered me to a allergist. I don't have any allergies, so he really didn't know. I had them any time I stayed outside in the cold. Only on my thighs and bottom. And only one more out break since then,( after exercise). It can't be exercise, I try to workout 4 or 5 days a week. It is still a mystery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Don't think of poison ivy at all! Poison ivy weeps and gets crusty and can spread without going away--hives don't weep or get crusty (unless you scratch them until they bleed and then they 'weep' blood...and I've done this a lot...my legs are scarred...
