I also have PCOS am HYPO (not hyper) thyroid and have recently had my
first attack of hives.
At first I did not know what it was or what was happening to my body and
was extremely alarmed - have omitted every possible food from my diet
but it has not disappeared - have also taken different antihistamines
with no help.
The doctors refuse to do an allergy test - they simply say it is because
I am hypothyroid - would anyone know the cause ? how is it linked with
pcos or thyroid and also more importantly the CURE for this ??
Sometimes it is so bad that it is really frightening
Would appreciate any help
