Sorry Jeanie, I misunderstood your post. I always thought I was a little hypo, which made a lot of sense. I have (or had) hypo symptoms. Nothing severe, but Dr. Goldstein told me if I ever wanted to try out Armour he would have no problems prescribing it for me. At least I have a source for bio identical hormones!

I did look into it a little more today and a hyperthyroid may cause itching skin. Specifically Graves Disease. That certainly has me wondering now! The itching is unbearable (now going on about 6 weeks!), so I had been taking Zyrtec for a few days. It must have helped because these past 2 days where I didn't take it, I have been very itchy. When I scratch, then I break out in a hive type rash. I can't even wear a bra (TMI) at the moment because just the pressure on the skin is making me break out in hives once my skin is on high alert. I've been really bumming it recently.

The most annoying thing out of it all is that I don't have a PCP that I trust. I don't even have a gynecologist I trust to talk to about a large lymph node in my groin. I feel really helpless at the moment. The only good PCPs have 2-3 month waits!

I didn't mean to hijack this thread. I am just frustrated with life right now. haha
