Posted on Sat, 10 Sep 2016
Question: Hi. My name is XXXX. I am 5'5", weigh around 100 lbs.( YYYY@YYYY )
I have Urticaria badly at present time welts that are painful all over my back, but particularly bad down my spine, on my breasts, neck, ears. I just finished an rx of Prednisone, and Allegra and Clarinex, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
I have constipation and usually have to take Magnesium at night and use Culterelle twice a day.
My skin is very broken out right now with adult acne
I have bruises and broken blood vessels all over (but especially bad on my hands and arms) I do bruise very easily.
I have red, sensitive skin lesions on my vagina and around the anal that oftentimes bleed.
I am 67 years old but had to have a complete hysterectomy at 26. I take Premarin.
I get tired easily and have low thyroid.
I have been getting very bad headaches every afternoon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

As diagnosis of skin condition is based on thorough clinical examination ,it would be very helpful if you could provide me with clinical photographs of all the affected area for further assessment .
Intake of Premarin Used ad Hormone Replacement therapy contains Oestrogen: It could be one of the factor predisposing to easy bruising along with multiple other factors like your associated Hypothyroidism.

Also your associated Hypothyroidism could explain the cause of many of your problems, including constipation , headache and easy fatigue.

I would suggest you to get your Thyroid profile done in consultation with your physician and adjust the dosage of Thyroxine which you have been taking.

For your constipation I would suggest you the following


I would suggest you the following

1. Plenty of oral fluids: 2-3 liter of water a day
2. High fibre diet: 2 servings of vegetable salad and fruits (kiwi, papaya) everyday
3. Oral Laxatives


Awaiting your response

Take Care
