Hyper & Hives

[nclc]

My smptoms are as follows - Chronic hives (since 1985 arounf 12 episodes in duration of 2 months to 1 year), hyperreflexes, hand temors, dry/gritty eyes, metalic taste, numbness in toes with sore spots at tip of toes, swollen purpleish feet, night sweats, brownish mark on upper thigh, hx of hyperthyroid in 1994 (resolved), stiff neck over 2 months, muscle fatigue including jaw with minimal chewing, slight difficulty swallowing (feels like decresed opening), pulse rate near 100 when resting, slight bulging eyes.  Any ideas?

Hives may be associated with autoimmune thyroid disease.  Would have thyroid retested including thyroid antibodies to see what is happening now.  Hyperthyroidism may be recurring given the symptoms, so important to be tested.

My friend has hashi's and she also has trouble with hives...they did a study on her and found that she was allergic to her own estrogen.  Something to look into.
