Hives Issue?

[Guest guest]

Since I am afraid to tell my doctor that I have hives and that she

will immediately see it as me allergic to the PTU and at that point I

will have no choice but to have surgery for my Graves, I may be

misunderstanding. Is this a sign that you are allergic and will it

harm me if I continue to take the PTU? I only take 2 a day but I

swear I am still tired feeling. I feel hypo, I guess from what I am

reading. I don't go back to her till Jan.24th. I have gone from 6

pills to 2 in less than 2 months. Do you think if she would reduce it

more the hives will cease? Thanks, Sandy

-This is interesting that I found this Elaine had written about the

hives and Vitamin A. Maybe I will try to increase my vitamin A in

pill or food form and see if it helps. Pretty rare to have skin

problems it says. I had skin problems for 2 years now. Dermatologist

can't figure out what it is. Was treating me for staph. THis was

before determining Graves and on the PTU. Maybe I needed more Vitamin

A all along. THanks, Sandy
