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'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.
