Re: Just diagnosed with bizarre condition - apparently linked to thyroid issues

[Guest guest]

Yep I've had the exact same thing for years, my DH calls me a freak, the way my

skin raises up, I can write on my skin without a pen, when I scratch myself I

come up in great big whelts, just knocking into things causes my skin to raise,

if I have any real trauma the whelts are really big. I had a bit of a puzzling

experience when I saw a ring of raise lumps around my belly button, then I

realised earlier I pushed a pen top back on on my tummy! Never really had any

Doc input on it (old GP was aware of it), was also called urticaria. Never

googled it before, reassuring to know I'm not alone. Never knew it was related

to hypot either.

How interesting Sandie! My skin isn't as sensitive as yours thank goodness (!)

but it still reacts in a weird way. This morning I thought I was starting to

get fine wrinkles on my cheeks, but it appears to be the white lines again! They

are almost indiscernible lines today. Do you have any itchiness associated with

the welts? My 'lines' don't itch at all, however apparently the welts are

normally itchy.
