try lowering your dose when symptoms are too bad. Are you taking other things

like antivirals and/or antifungals? I have heard of rashes etc. when viruses

are being pushed out of the body, probably more with children though. And I

think I can get itchy when I'm taking too much antifungals and killing yeast too

fast. Are you taking plenty of omega 3's, that's good for the skin too. Good

I'm on cortef (15mg) but have not addressed the hypothyroid problem I

believe I have. Have others been able to find relief from these

symptoms on round without the thyroid meds? If so, what was helpful?

Yes to the antifungals, I was in the second week of Candex after a

long break. My liver was saying " No Mas " I think when I added

the chelation. I just sense that I am hypothyroid.

I've lost count of just how many rounds I've done >20. I'm always

using high doses of both DMSA and ALA (50-100 mg each) that I can

usually tolerate since getting on cortef and (don't laugh) I bounce

on round. My unproven theory is jumping up and down may help

release some mercury from the thyroid. (In the alternative I hope it

annoys the yeast.)

Have you tried antihistamines.

I used to get dry itchy skin on my legs before I started thyroid meds.

That symptom is fairly mild compared to what you are describing.

I use a combination of Synthroid (T4) and sustained release T3. Most

people use Armour (I had some problems with availability where I live).

I think you may need to lower the doses. The symptoms that you are

describing sound allergy related and could get more serious.

I'm not laughing! My thoughts are that mercury is a heavy metal and

gravity has pulled a bunch down into my legs - giving me all the leg

pain that I am having.....

Bouncing is great to get the lymph moving too.
