I stopped taking supplements or the generic Wellbutrin for the past several days to try to get hives to resolve; only taking Benadryl for the hives, which makes me groggy. However, it does help with the itchy hives. Unfortunately, though, I find that after about 12 hours the hives just come right back if I don't keep taking Benadryl. Today, they are a little better. I've been going to work, but not exercising. My right shoulder and elbow are also deeply sore; it feels like there is something wrong with my bones. I don't know what's going on with that. A couple of years ago, my right shoulder was giving me pain and an x-ray showed some mild bone degeneration. I suppose it is getting worse.
I blew it: I ate some chocolate after Valentine's Day. About 30 Hershey's Kisses over a 3 day period. You see the result in my weight, above, from this morning's weigh-in. I was probably up to about 1500 calories per day with the chocolate, though I didn't really change the rest of my diet from what I normally eat.
I called the second endocrinologist that my doctor referred me to, and made the first available appointment: it's in mid-April. This week I will have the bloodwork done. I wanted to get over these hives first, though I don't know if an allergic reaction changes one's bloodwork at all. I'm pretty sure it was the generic Wellbutrin, since I first noticed the outbreak about 12 hours after having taken it the first time, though I've never had an allergy to medication before.
Well. Drinking lots of water, and no more chocolate. Back to less than 1,000 calories today.
I had hypothyroidism and it caused my body system to go haywire. I attempted to avoid soy products. I felt tired of my thyroid but I didn't lose hope. I started taking desiccated bovine thyroid for a couple years now and it's really working great.
