After reading many of the posts on hives, I’ve noticed that people have hives from tapazole and that some people have hives as a symptom of GD. I seem to have hives, in the SAME EXACT place, that stay for approximately 2-3 months at a time when I break out. Sounds weird, I know, but I have one on my ear, 2 on my forehead and one on my right eyelid. I’m currently on tapazole and have GD. Can anyone tell me if they think this is a reaction to the meds? I’m back in hyper again and the Endo dr. increased tapazole 4x my regular dosage 2 weeks ago. Along with the hives, I’m having the hot flashes, muscle & joint pain too. Just curious if anyone can help me figure this out……

Sorry to tell you but yes it is caused by the medication. I had that reaction to both of them. Look at the side effect sheets from the medication you are taking. I had to go off the meds because of the hives and a rash. Good luck

Julie: Thanks for responding…you said you had the reaction to "both of them"? Was it two different medications you were on?? I looked at the side effects and it does say "skin rash", but I didn’t see the hives listed, that’s why I asked! And, it’s weird, I’m on the medication and have been since last October; however, these hives come and go for a period of 2-3 months and then disappear for a few months?? Do you think it’s still the medication??

Thanks for the input!! Sue

I saw my GD eye dr. today and he asked me WHY I had hives all over my face and I laughed!! He told me that the hives are not a symptom of the GD; however, the GD makes you HYPERSENSITIVE and that something else is causing them…OH GREAT!! Julie, you’re right in that I guess it could be the tapazole, but it seems strange since I’ve been on it now since last Oct…who knows!! I’m so frustrated…now I have something else to try and figure out…

Hi sue

Sorry I have not been around to get back to you, my job is nuts, going on vacation next week, staying home and resting are my plans

I was on both the Meth and PTU. They are diffirent medications, but still have the many of the same side effects. I got hot flashes and a rash with the meth, and hives and a rash with the PTU. Now I am looking forward to RAI. I am trying to schedule it during Labor day weekend. Right now I am on nothing but a sleeping pill at night. Did you talk to your Endo about the rash? Are you still on the medication, or off? how are you feeling.

Hey Julie…I’m feeling like a dumb dumb again after reading your post. Just when I thought these crazy hot flushes were from the GD, they could be from tapazole?? I currently on 20 mg of tapazole a day. Sometimes I don’t know what is what and all I want is to get well and I’m just so confused. I also have the TED and had my first cocktail of three (1000mg. Solumedrol IV) today. My GD TED dr. sent me in for the inflammation so maybe it will help with all the other symptoms I’m having too. I’m starting to feel anxious again b/c I can’t seem to get my hands around SOMETHING / ANYTHING that will make me feel better & in the meantime, the lbs. keep packing on. I told my TED dr. to go ahead and put an extra 10 lbs. on each hip before I even went for my first treatment today…ARGH!!!!!!!!!! I"M SOOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!
