Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Hi : I hope you have a wonderful vacation! Re: thyroid, yes, I WAS hyper but am now on Synthroid since the radioactive iodine back in 1989. I also have a " nodule " which is what aches from time to time. It's been aching quite a bit the last few weeks. I've gone through this many times over the years. But now that I am aware that there is some evidence of minocycline impacting the thyroid, I'm getting paranoid I guess. As for skin darkening, I do have the hyperpigmentation on ankles. Also, lately I've noticed my hands are very dark compared to the rest of me! (someone at work even commented). I've avoided the sun, as we're supposed to, but I guess driving is causing some exposure. Sure can't see myself wearing gloves in the middle of summer! Again, have a great vacation, . Babs RA 8/98, DX 4/99, AP 11/99 200 mg. Minocin 112 mcg. Synthroid 2 mg. Hytrin 10 mg. Lipitor Mestinon Vits. & Misc. Suplmts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
