Oh, Under Active Thyroid, Allergies, Too?
Dear Thyroid,
Well, I learned something new today, that when you have an underactive thyroid, your allergies kick your butt! I was explaining to the doctor, my new symptoms, and one was the way my allergies are kicking me hard. At least now I know it isn’t all in my head when a blade of grass triggers the rash and itching. It now explains the congestion in my lungs, to where my ribs hurt. Why didn’t someone tell me about this before?
All I ask of you today Dear Thyroid is to clean my system, and to lose weight. I am trying another medication, another natural, so PLEASE let me go to the bathroom!
I have a feeling you’re not listening to me, but I will keep trying, for when I give an inch you will take a yard.

Sharen,
I have noted that my “minor” seasonal allergies have been horrible this year. Hope you get a little relief from it soon!

Sharen,
Tell me about allergies now I am completely allergic to my garden and who knows what else it’s that bad they are doing an allergy tests to see what is triggering all the skin conditions I have developed I know the culprit but they just don’t get it.
I hope you get some relief soon as I know how miserable it makes you feel.

Yes I found this so true! I have 26 known food allergies!!! I thought I’d never be able to eat anything. I have learned that I can have a little this and that as long as I don’t have these foods all at the same time.
Everything about this illness is weird!
Thinking of you xoxoxox Linny
I have always had allergies and the last couple of months have been horrific! I had not idea that the thyroid would have anything to do with it. Thanks for sharing.
