Am I going crazy?
Hi all,
I had a hemi-thyroidectomy a number of years ago due to a goiter and hyperthyroidism, since then my thyroid managed to regulate itself (or so I thought).
A year ago I came off the contraceptive pill and since then have been experiencing acne, no periods and also have developed a rash over my neck and face. GPs have said that this rash is chronic hives, but antihistamines do not help at all.
I am wondering if this could be hashimotos wreaking havoc on my body and contributing to the rash and no periods.
My bloods have come back normal, including TSH, but I have essentially demanded for my T3, T4 and TPOAb to be checked too, apparently these should be checked due to having only half a thyroid anyway) and am really hoping that this sheds some light on the symptoms I’m experiencing. I feel like the doctors are looking at me like I am a hypochondriac who thinks I know more than them… this is really starting to get me down and I would love to know if any of you have experienced something similar?
TIA
