Question should i test antibodies

hey everybody. i'm new to this but i thought you guys might help me out. i was apparently diagnosed awhile back with pcos although the more i add symptoms, the more it seems like a thyroid problem. i had a pelvic ultrasound and all kinds of bloodwork. everything completely normal except my thyroid levels are a little abnormal. i got a second opinion who said i should try synthroid for a month to see how i felt. i have had hives for over 3 months (before all the testing). since taking the synthroid, i have had just a few breakouts. i read that hives can be caused by elevated antibodies. should i get that tested to see if that could be the cause of my problems? has anyone else had this problem??? thanks!!

I think you should have your antibodies checked. I think they should have done a COMPLETE work up on you BEFORE prescribing synthroid, but that's just MHO. In this world, we need to be advocates for our own health.
