I also have a cluster of hives on my left hip, one below my left armpit, and a few little ones on my hands. I just took a cool shower to try to calm down my skin a bit.
Most of my bloodwork is still not back yet from the lab. Only one test, my TSH, is back, and it has gone from 1.03 in March to 0.94 in April (when I was retested for infertility related things) to 1.50 now. So, essentially a 50% increase. It is still well within the lab's "normal ranges" of 0.5 - 4.0, but that seems to me to be a notable increase in only a few months. And with all of my other symptoms and conditions (endometriosis, infertility, heavy menstrual bleeding, easy bruising, skin keratosis, and anxiety), one would think a doctor would start to put together a picture of Hashimoto's that requires some mild treatment.
I am very nervous about all this, because I am going on a business trip this week for work -- my first one all year, certainly first one since the chronic hives have started. I am worried that the stress of flying and staying away from home for one night will further aggravate the hives condition, and that I'll have them visible and itching during my business meetings. And that will only add to my stress.
Having this stuff happens on weekends sucks, because I can't get to my PCP to show her and be like, "explain please!!"
My husband was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis last year and did go to the NIH and see Dr. Robyn twice. He had already had the bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, as well as the tryptase level test. Basically, they did some blood work there and took extensive medical history from my husband. They told us to go home and our local physician could follow up with him as well as anyone could since there are really no specialist doctors to see locally. They said if there were changes to follow up in about a year. He did go back about a month ago and found out that Dr. Robyn was going to leave. We made a research on local herbal medicine and we found out there is a cure with natural herbs and roots medicine.Of Dr James the great herbal doctor from west Africa, on how he uses his herbal medicine to cure several diseases like SHINGLES,WARTS, HERPES,CANCER,HEPATITIS,DIABETES HIV/AIDS,AND MASTOCYTOSIS,and we proceeded and contacted him on his email Drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com..and he said he will help us. 2 days later you told us the herbal medicine is ready and he sent it to us.After 3 weeks of the usage as he prescribed to us.believe me my husband was truly cured of Mastocytosis.You can reach the Herbal Doctor on Drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com or you get in touch with me on Ntrishanelson@gmail.com
