Thanks for that sleepy ,I've had a read ,it does mention the conection,what I keep thing is as I'm been treated for years with b12 and levothyroxine can I still get hives ,wondering if hives is another auto immune, the itch is driving me crazy on times,antihistamin dont work
More usually an allergic reaction. Psoriasis is a variety of skin conditions that can occur with PA, ranging from red raised spots to extreme flaky skin etc.
Hope you are being optimally treated for your thyroid. Do you have Hashimotos ?
I had horrid itchy arms and bandaged them at night to stop the scratching ! I also used Froicalm .
I have Hashimotos and a B12 issue due to surgery. It could be low T3 which is rarely tested in the NHS. Am currently free from this unpleasant condition. Hope you soon will be too 😥
Thank you marz I will look into having t3 tested
Best to have FT3 done with the FT4 and TSH. Sadly not possible in the NHS. Do you have Hashimotos ? - auto-immune thyroid ?

Yes I did speak about dermatologist telling me there was a conection to both pernicious and thyriod,as I have been treated for both for years ,I started to wonder did he mean it was another autoimmune like thyriod and pernicious, or was it directly related ,yes I have hashimotos ,I will look into test you have suggested, thank you so much . Oh when I told gp what dermatologist said ,gp said it has nothing to do with thyriod and pernicious as I am being treated, so confusing
Having been on the Thyroid UK Forum here on HU for over 8 years I read every day of the lack of knowledge within the medical profession. There are over 104,000 members on TUK - looking for answers their GP's and Endos cannot provide.
If you have one auto-immune disease if is common for others to join in. I have scanned your other posts and read of your lung issues. One of the Admin on TUK has the same - am sure she could be helpful as she has great knowledge. Come and join us

I to get b12 injections but break out in what looks like hives about two weeks before due injection and a craving for sweet foods. I am also a coeliac and my dermatologist thinks its a side effect of being a coeliac . I personally think it's my body craving b12 because it needs it so badly
