Fw: Not just moons are different on me

Subject: Not just moons are different on me

ok, on 25 mg t4 plus 3 grains armour, both thumbs, pointers have moons, the

other fingers moon. I added the t4 due to fatigue. Here is another thing. My

nail shape is fine but the texture is dry and brittle and the area where the

nail attached from the grow out to the bed instead of what had always been a

smooth arch is jagged looking. Any comments

My thumb is obvious, and my pointer and middle finger also have moons.

But I believe I could see the same even when on crappy Synthroid.

Janie, on optimal dose.

after you've been on adequate thyroid?
