49 Y/o, 5'1", 140# Taking E-Fem Standard Dosage (2 Capsules/day)

49 y/o, 5'1", 140# taking E-Fem standard dosage (2 capsules/day) in morning with food. Started taking these about 2 wks ago. https://www.naturesplus.com/products/productdetail.php?productNumber=4872 and have felt a decrease in menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, insomnia, moodiness, etc.) Weds went in for mammogram (4 x-rays) - called me in today for 4 more x-rays on right side only - tonight i broke out in hives but not as you'd usually know hives (some small bumps appeared on a few of my fingers (tiny-like poison ivy) and bigger ones on my inner thighs and around buttocks, four appear in my stomach area and are small like mosquito bites). Wondering if this is just a reaction to radiation or new vitamin...i have been using a cold compress in the most extreme areas and have taken two Benadryl which has helped ease the itching. I'm inclined to think it could be the vitamin because i forgot to take it this morning and i took it after dinner this evening, fell asleep and woke up a few hours later with the reaction noted. The only other prescription i'm on is thyroid 60mg/day and i also take that in the morning but forgot today and took it along with the vitamin (which i typically do every morning).
