I'm 60 years old fairly fit and in good shape I was sailing through life no big health issues except a bladder prolapse . Managed to fix that will the the aid of bio identical hormones.Then last year started with Dreadful hives all over my body. Went for numerous tests. Paid private to see a dermatologist who recommended a throid ultra scan. Got the results back. Turns out I've a nodule on the thyroid and after blood tests ive been diagnosed with hasimotos.

My question is where do I go from here? My hives are in remisión when I follow a low histamine diet but it's so boring. I cut out milk and dairy. Living in Spain the menu is so boring here on a low histamine diet.

Any advice very welcome. I'm so overwhelmed by the news.

Thanks for the link

Hi Juliejooles, I have Hasimotos too. I manage it with exercise, good food and blood tests to check on my thyroid. I work with a Functional Medicine doctor who helps a lot. I was wondering if the bio identical hormones could be causing the hives. I don't know anything about bio identical hormones but I was just wondering. Thanks for posting. Jean
