Yes, I have it quite severely now that I have finally been diagnosed as hypothyroid (TSH in range, but rock bottom T3 and low T4). Yet, I am on a grain of Armour thyroid and so far no improvement (but then T3 still low). I suspect I have been hypo for a while but have just had TSH testing. I have had symptoms since teens.

I used to have asthma (post-viral) and the only medication that cleared it was Zyrtec and upping magnesium. However, I slept too soundly and was often alone with small children so I eventually weaned off the Zyrtec only to have severe dermotographia as a side effect. Now it all makes sense!

Keep up the good work!

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
