antihistamine

Avatar f tn That really made me think a lot about my condition. In case it is something related to water retention (I have hashimotos and take the thyroid hormone) or anything related to puffiness despite me not being overweight, is there any medicine for that or could that be an obstruction for any future eye surgery?
Avatar n tn t something else causing it and receive treatment if needed. You might want to try an antihistamine like Sudafed to see if it stops the problem. But be aware if your work requires random drug tests an antihistamine can cause you to fail it, so make sure you let the tester know you are taking it. I Hope This Helps Good Luck.
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it
1415174 tn?1453243103 I had my annual physical and I am 50 and never had low thyroid. It was up from 2.2 to 3.2 for some reason. Can you get older age onset low thyroid at my age. I have no other symtoms. No weight gain, tired but I take a strong antihistamine daily (side effect is fatigue) so before the antihistamine I was less tired. The doctor examined my thyroid and I don't have any lumps or abnormaliites. I had a CT scan of the throat about 6 months ago and that was normal.

Avatar m tn My Thyroid has taken on an Itch Allergy now which goes if I put antihistamine cream on my neck where my thyroid is. I also take liquid antihistamine which helps with my throat. I do wonder if there is a correlation between Rapeseed and all these allergies. Rapeseed is grown all year round so for those who suffer all year round is it possible the link is Rapeseed?
Avatar m tn I have a bottle of Unisom and the ingredient states it contains Diphenhydramine (An Antihistamine) not Doxylamine.
Avatar n tn I have just seen a dermatologist who changed my antihistamine presciption, and who told me the hives could be linked to my thyroid condition and has taken blood to test for C3, C4, haemoglobins, electrophoresis, full blood count and ESR. Can you explain the link please between hypothyroid and allergic reactions? Also, is there anything I can do myself to help matters as it's very depressing.
Avatar f tn Behold, she says it could absolutely be related to solumedrol and gave me Rx strrength antihistamine for night and OTC antihistamine for day (got to stay awake at work). She also said, and this is the part I don't like, if this approach doesn't work, she may have to put me on oral prednisone and back the steroids out of my system.
460348 tn?1213452322 t feel good until just recently and I think that was due to a dosage change on my thyroid meds. I am due for a blood test so maybe I am leveled a bit. Go ahead and try the tylenol PM - it will not interfer this your thryoid meds. I really feel - and other may disagree - especially if you are symtomatically insomniac- taking your thyroid meds at night could pose a problem.
Avatar f tn My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl. Big mistake since I woke up broke out in bad hives. I had to wait to get home to take benadryl since I am not 100% certain that Benadryl does not give me hives.
Avatar f tn I personally take a claritin everyday. I have seasonal allergies and pet dander makes my eyes and face really itchy. My Dr OKed it and said its totally safe. Hope this helps.
612551 tn?1450022175 I had prior to the vet visit above been given Wilson one half Benedryl 25 mg Antihistamine morning and evening, in the hope it would clear up the paw problem. A couple weeks of this did not produce any improvement. I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control.
1670226 tn?1334252274 Are you on thyroid (or anti-thyroid) med? Most/many OTC meds say not to take if you take a prescription medication. You should probably talk to your doctor to find out what's recommended. Sorry, but we're not doctors and not knowing you or your exact situation, we really can't recommend anything.
Avatar f tn Antihistamines like benadryl will help with the discomfort. Is she taking an antihistamine? I have seen people who are allergic to them and their symptoms become worse.
Avatar n tn It can be even easier than that. You could alway ask your doc to try free samples of Nasal Sprays for rhinitis, sinusitis. If it works than you know what it is. Then you need to figure out why it happens like if it is allergy or sinusitis and treat it more specifically if you want to. Once way to rule in allergy is antihistamine like Benedryl. If you take an antihistamine and it stops it's more likely rhinitis.
Avatar f tn i just read that a thyroid disorder will cause you to have hive breakouts. my mother had a goiter on her thyroid and had half of it removed when i was a kid. i found out about 6 or so yrs ago that i also have a goiter n my thyroid, and my older brother found out a few yrs ago also that he has a goiter too. could my son possiblely be having a thyroid disorder this early in his life and its causing him to break out with hives??????????

Excerpt from "Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies - TPO Autoantibodies and Their Significance" by Elaine Moore.... "In conditions of chronic urticaria, thyroid antibodies are not only indicators of chronic inflammation, but they appear to play a role in the disease process.
Avatar f tn The antihistamines should be fine but you likely need to be on thyroid medication to bring the levels back to normal range for the Hypothyroidism (high TSH and normal T3/T4 is called subclinical hypothyroidism - but often this needs treatment).
Avatar m tn Stage of Research EAE mice treated daily with anti-histamine receptor 1 have decreased disease severity and delayed onset of the disease compared to controls. Also, treatment with antihistamine receptor 1 leads to significant changes in the serum IgG recognition of some healthy brain antigenic targets.

203342 tn?1328737207 Have you had your thyroid ultrasound scanned, because you can have nodules on the thyroid, which is in the throat, and these can cause hoarseness, and like a raspy feeling in the throat and voice.

Avatar f tn Important Safety Information In animal studies, Victoza® caused thyroid tumors—including thyroid cancer—in some rats and mice. It is not known whether Victoza® causes thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in people which may be fatal if not detected and treated early. Do not use Victoza® if you or any of your family members have a history of MTC or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your input. I have been applying creams and taking antihistamine aswell (only since yesterday), so perhaps I should relax and be patient! I will also look into the soap/laundry detergent, as the thought never crossed my mind! Thanks again, I'll keep you posted!
519473 tn?1212064571 , and Feb.. The results of the bloodwork, suggest my thyroid is over produceing. T3 and T4 are high...and TSH is low. He discussed the results with my endocrinologist... and they decided to start me on 10 mg. of Tapazole. (2x/day), and increase my Toprol to 75 mg. That same bloodwork, also suggested I'm very Anemic, and we don't know yet what is causeing that. My question is... can the anemia be related to they thyroid issues... and are the headaches, as well.
Avatar n tn t get to see your doctor soon, the pharmacist may be able to recommend an antihistamine and a suitable moisturiser to use that is safe near the eyes. Best wishes.
Avatar n tn s Thyroiditis, with which the autoimmune system erroneously identifies the thyroid gland as foreign to the body and produces antibodies to attack and eventually destroy the gland? If so, Hashi's antibodies have been identified as causing something referred to as Hashi's rash. The fact that you still have hives 2 years after stopping the thyroid med seems to indicate it was not related to that. What other symptoms do you have, if any?
