Anyone with hives?

Hi:
Question for all... A while back, there were a couple of you who were breaking out in hives. Any of you still around? I've been breaking out in hives more and more. It seems to increase with each increase in my levothroid....
What did you all find out about why they might be happening?
Its frustrating because other things are getting a little better... it's like, man, there's always something!
Dee.

Dee-
Thanks to you both for your replies; they made me feel better. I like the idea that it might be because I'm getting better :-)
It's interesting about the link between other hormones, isn't it? How they can interact, and no one really knows exactly what is happening... The other thing that's happened is that I have a couple of big pimples (!)... which I haven't had in years!
Something else I have (that I've never heard anyone else say), is that whenever my TSH is going up, my Rosacea flares up... and when I'm on a new dose and starting to level out, it goes away (?!) I've also only had the Rosacea since I started becoming hypo.
My skin is really sensitive now, too. I get a hive on my cheek when my hair irritates a certain spot for too long...
I have a deal with my endocrinologist that if my levels aren't in the target this time, she'll look at trying something new. But I do think this hive bout is a reaction to the larger dose, so am hoping it will even out.
Thanks again,
Dee.
