Help with Hives

[Mommy0025]

I was put on thyroid medicine Dec 2014. Shortly after that I started to break out in hives. The doctor then put me on Synthroid stating maybe I was allergic to something in the generic. The itching and hives continues. I stopped all medicine. I had about a month with few rashes, then they came back stronger then ever and has not let off. I currently am on a prescription anti histamine. Was hoping to find a way to get off this medicine. Going to see an allergist again in hopes of finding I am allergic to something. Just want this to go away.

I posted the following reply to your other post, before I noticed your new thread here.  So here is the same info.


Why are you sure the hives started from the thyroid med?  Is it possible that the cause for being on Levo and Synthroid was that you were diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, with which the autoimmune system  erroneously identifies the thyroid gland as foreign to the body and produces antibodies to attack and eventually destroy the gland?  If so, Hashi's antibodies have been identified as causing something referred to as Hashi's rash.  

The fact that you still have hives 2 years after stopping the thyroid med seems to indicate it was not related to that.  What other symptoms do you have, if any?  Do you have thyroid related test results from prior tests that you can post, along with reference ranges?
