So I am finally hive free....now to get back to everyday life...

So I have been hive free for days now! YAY! I increased my dosage this morning which is fantastic. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will start having energy again and be back to my normal bouncy self. I have been slowly getting more and more back to normal life.

My travel business is doing well. I have a group going to Alaska, and several individual trips to plan. My biggest challenge is having enough hours during the day where I am not so tired I can not focus. I have been implenting a new online calendar designed for ADD people. I am still using the free trial right now but will report to you all on it soon.

I have managed to start having the house look less like a train wreck and more like my home. Though I believe my vacuum  told me it missed my living room floor -HA!

Ok well I am going to go take a short nap.

Until next time.....

No Hives?....could it be...

Ok so I didn't take any steroids yesterday..and I have been on the Levoxil for two days...well today is day two and so far no hives! While I am exhausted from I assume the low hormone (he lowered thw dose and said I could raise it if I had no hives for a week) levels...I am not wanting to pull my hair out! Or scratch my skin off lol yay me

Hope this continues

Until next time .....

Ok..So I have decided it must be the medicine....

So my husband and the pharmacist both agreed that I should not take the generic synthroid, while waiting for the name brand Levoxil to come in. Now I will preface this with the fact I have been on steroid for three days now.

But the hive are almost all the way gone.... I had only a few for only a few hours today!!!! so I am not sure if it is the steroid or the lack of thyroid meds, so if they come back within the next three days on my steroids while taking the Levoxil(I start again tomorrow morning) It will be the entire drug industry lol, but seriously i am feeling confident that it is the "provoid" that is in both the generic and name brand Synthroid...so maybe just maybe I can leave nap land and not itch from head to toe!!!!

Until next time....

HIVES!!!! and the stomach flu....Really!

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...
