Hi @saucy, In this case PV is Polycythemia Vera. It’s
A type of blood cancer where you marrow produces too many red blood cells. This would show up in your blood work. Yours are normal so this most likely wouldn’t be the cause of your itching. But here is a little information on PV.

You mentioned that you’re taking ND Thyroid for an under active thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism can cause itching and hives. There is an autoimmune disease that can be a contributing factor for Hypothyroidism called Hashimoto’s Disease. This is an auto immune disease which causes an under active thyroid.
Here are a couple of articles you might find helpful.
One from the Mayo web page and another from Very Well Health

Have you been checked for Hashimoto’s Disease?

Thank You for your reply, I do not have Hashimotos, I go from hypo to hper thyroid. I've been on meds since 1988 and now thyroid is pretty shut done so rely on meds to keep it balanced. Never considered it a cause for itching will ask my doctor next appointment.
