Misdiagnosis


Jyvett

Recommended Posts

Hi! I have just had blood work done to check for Celiac disease. I have not received my results yet but have a lot of the symptoms. My question is concerning my sister who also has a host of these symptoms and what has been diagnosed as chronic hives. They have not found any cause for these outbreaks and none of the meds they have tried seem to be effective for them other then steroids. Is it possible that what she has is DH? I have not read anything anywhere on it being mistaken for hives but the pictures I have seen look like what she gets. Thanks!

Hi, I am also suffering from chronic hives right now. I have had them about 10 weeks. I've been to 2 internists and 2 allergists. If your sister's doctor said it's hives then she probably has hives. Has your sister been to allergist? They can work with the antihistamines to get the right combo of drugs for her. They did for me, well to keep me comfortable most of the time. I still have my times during the day or night when I get a little itchy!! Sometimes my lips swell, not fun!!

I also have autoimmune thyroid disease and the doctor(s) told me that 30-35% of people with this also get chronic hives. They also told me more often than not you never find the cause(90-95% of the time).

Enjoy your weekend! :P

Hi! Thanks so much for your reply. I have forwarded the links to my sister. Sure hope she can find something that can work for her as well as you have. At least maybe you will be an incentive for her to get into an allergist and try differant :D meds. Thanks again!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
