Hives from compounded TR T3 HELP

Anyone switch from Cytomel to compounded TR T3 and have hives? Is the microcrystalline filler in both? I switched to compounded so I could titration my dose up in small increments but over the course of the last few months I've developed horrible painful hives all over my neck and scalp. Any information would be helpful. Desperate!

The inactive ingredients in Cytomel consist of calcium sulfate, gelatin, starch, stearic acid, sucrose and talc.  No microcrystalline filler shown.  

You can get Cytomel, or generic, in 5 mcg tablet.  That should be a small enough increment for you to titrate your dosage slowly.  With that small amount, why would you need to go to a TR version?

Did the hives show up right after you switched?
