Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi, I'm new to your group. I have been suffering with chronic hives for 3 months. I was told by a friend that acupuncture may help. Has anyone experienced having hives and/or healing this condition? Also I'm hypothyroid, and there may be a connection to the medication (synthroid) that I take. Would like some advice. Thanks, PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dear PJ, If your hives began soonafter you began taking the synthroid, there very well may be a relation there. I would recommend talking to your physician about an alternatives hormone relacement drug which may agree with you better. Acupuncture does help hives. However, in my experience, quicker results are achieved with herbal medicine. If you can afford both, the two together work beautifully! What is the quality of your hives...red? itchy? hot? damp? dry? patches? what area of your body? Do they come and go? How long? etc... This will help to get a better picture of what is going on.
