What to do...

HEN LIFE THROWS LEMONS...

Wish I knew the answer to that question! I have been up against some stuff lately that has me so confused I don't know how to act or react let's just say my first reaction is ANGER.  So I have tried to make myself take a time out but even that is not always enough.

The rash is making my temper even harder to curtail as it's always annoyingly in the background of every stressful moment.  And did I mention it's almost a mirror image on my body? If the left foot has a itchy red spot on the top the right foot has one in the exact same place except on the right, same with my arms, and legs...so this to me says NERVE related.  It is riding around in on my nerves.  So I did more research...Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disorder I was told I had by the NP that I see about a year ago.  I had not connected those dots at ALL...I will say I have not been good at taking my thyroid meds I am very forgetful in that way.

So I just read 50% of the people suffering from Hives also have Hashimoto's disease.  So I think I have my answer...I read that many of the sufferers take Zantac and Zyrtec.  So I have some acid reducer, It's a generic Zantac, And Zyrtec is an antihistamine, with less side effects that Benadryl.  AND I need to cut the gluten in my diet which is quite high I must say...every morning I start my day with some kind of gluten.  An English muffin, piece of toast, The big 3 no no's 2 of them are a major part of my diet Soy, Gluten, and  Dairy, not so much. but 2 out of 3 plus Hashimoto..

My script is up for renewal in 2 months so I will have to make a appointment.  I read so many horror stories of people trying to figure out why they were having endless days of this itchy hives and then they were finally told it's Hashimoto's Well I was told I had Hashimoto's but never put the 2 together, since I've only had the rash  over a period of about just over 2 weeks...or so I just kept thinking it will go away...BUT it may not!!

Stress does not help and as I have mentioned my son is giving me major stress right now.  Every time I put distance between us he comes back with another problem he needs help with mostly its financial right now since he still has not found a full time job!

So If I die today it' because I took Benadryl, Famotidine, Prednisone, Levothyroxine, and Levoxyl and ate bread. and was stressed to death!!
One guy said Just smoke pot you'll be fine...okay then. 
Damn this is not funny.
