You know it really amazes me that so many people have this problem and apparently the reasons are varied. I'm not on a diuretic but thanks for mentioning this. Since I wrote last I had an urgent visit to my allergist due to a severe hives breakout on my feet. They took some more blood tests and one that no one else had taken was for Thyroid Antibodies.... my results came back way off the scale. My body is producing way too many and they said this could be the result of my itchy hives and welts. They prescribed corticosteroidid drug. The medication has worked but I don't want to stay on this. Unfortunately for me nantihistimineses have helped me. I am not sure what this all means for me but my allergist suggested I see thyroid specialist which I intend to do. I am anxious to see what the Endocrinologist will have to say about all of this. There must be an explanation as to why my body is at war with itself. I will post to the board when I find out more. Maybe it will help others too.
Thanks. Lori
