Newly Diagnosed…questions!?
Hi! I just got diagnosed last week and I’m kind of confused/spiraling about it. I was on a bunch of hormone meds for fertility treatment and basically right when I got off them, I started having hives one and off for a week or two then I had hives constantly that progressively got worse for a week straight. Got blood work and my TSH was 9.6. That alone was concerning, but then I went back and looked at blood work from July 2025 and my TPO was in the 50s. My doc said that alone was enough to diagnose with Hashi’s. But I’m mostly confused bc I’ve never had any symptoms, just this random month long hives adventure, but it was all after the fertility meds. I’m wondering if this was sitting dormant and the fertility meds woke something up in me? Has anyone else had an experience with fertility treatment and Hashi’s? I’m on synthroid now but will I have hives again during a “flare up”? Will I have other symptoms start? I’m nervous and wondering what changes I need to make to my lifestyle or what I can expect now… any words of wisdom would be helpful! TIA!
