Google histamine intolerance, DAO enzyme, and the low histamine chef; these have been eye openers to me after suffering for 20 years with hives, hypothyroid, vitiligo, endometriosis, anemia, and lately acid reflux. At 46, I've decided to change my diet to an anti-inflammatory diet (no gluten, dairy, nightshade foods). I'm taking vitamins, iron, and zyflamend-NewChapter. Good luck to all.

Hey there everyone.  In January I was diagnosed hypothyroid.  I then started taking 50ug of Levothyroxine daily.  Once tested in 30 days, I stopped taking it.  After a month of being off of it, I broke out in a few small patches, nothing major.

Slowly, it has built each day and have been suffering with Chronic Urticaria ever since.  I have been through Steriod shots, Prednisone as well as the cocktail of anti-histamines like everyone else.  I am currently on 50mg of Hydroxyzine, 10mg Singular, 150mg Randitine and 20mg of Zantac.

It takes nearly all day to get relief and then it all returns in the morning.  I have had several blood panels and met with my GP, Derm, Allergist and Endocrinologist.  No one seems to have many answers and Endo ordered a few more blood samples this past Monday -- will see the results.  I meet with Allergist tomorrow to also review blood work.

My symptoms are pretty much identical to the rest here, full body weals on arms, neck, face and legs as well as occasional lip swelling.

Interestingly, I was told by my GP during all the symptoms that I no longer need to be on Thyroid medication.  I was also offered Armor Thyroid.  I'm not taking either currently because the single time that I did take thyroid medication while breaking out, it made it worse.

We'll see tomorrow, hopefully this is not permanent.
