Thanks for commenting. I have Graves’ which is now inactive. So I get thyroid panels done frequently. I have tried giving up gluten and dairy. I have also tried water fasting. Nothing including a prescription diuretic calms the edema and releases the fluid. Doctors tell me they don’t think it’s lupus even though I have developed what looks like the signature rash. Doctors have also ruled out histamine intolerance, although the hives mimic that. I really need to find a doctor who won’t give up and settle for whatever seems like the most convenient answer. I’m hoping to reduce the number of medications I take and get healthy again. Thanks for your support.
