So Synthroid gives me hives and I mean like all over as bad as Chicken Pox nothing works Hives!
So I went to see the family practioner who said it may or may not be the synthroid.... Then the allergist 8 days later who has this crazy Idea that they are not allergy related... and say zyrtec ..uh...how about your crazy.. Then the Endo the same day who switched my prescription to Levoxil which the pharamacy of course gave me generic .....Then the stomach FLU...ugh I haven't had the stomach flu since I was a wee one... and I don't want it again... Ironically after having hives for over 11 days.. I didn't have them that day... I call that a BLESSING.. but the next morning the HIVES came back with revenge I mean all out I want to break down and cry craziness. My husband insisted I go to Urgent care so I did.....
Mind you he was very focus on the stomach virus I was not worried about... I am a big girl viruses suck..stay hydrated.. I know the drill... but finally he says the hives are allergy related in his opinion and gave me a steroid and said if they come back he would tell the allergist to look again.... LOL and sigh....
So this morning I was a rebel... I didn't take my medication for my thyroid... i still have hives but they are not as bad.... the pharmacy should have my name brand Levoxil in tomorrow around noon... We compared all the ingredients and the only non active ingredient that is the same in levoxil and Synthroid is Magnesium Sterate. so Hopefully I can tolerate it. As It is the Endo reduced the dosage when he changed the meds... i would really like to be back to myself.... So If this doesn't work I think I am going to insist we try the Armour I am tired of being tired and tired of being itchy...
I mean three packets of oatmeal powder in the bath and it only works for a little while. SIGH
I am so ready to be over this and just be better...please forgive any spelling errors etc as I am beyond caring to look for them right now SORRY
until next time...
