Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 > every time I increase my nature throid, I get very extreme body >rashes - the rashes are in the same area as my keratois (back of arms, upper thighs, etc.). I hope that is what is going on -but if anyone else can shed some light on this I would love to know. Winona, what amount are you on, and what amount do you increase to when this problem happens? After you do the increase, how long does it take before the rash appears? I have noted before that T3 can aggravate certain problems, and over time, they will adjust to the T3.

Also, I was anxious to get my body temp up to normal. I am now at 5 grains (started on 1 grain in October 2004). My temp has come up from 95.0 on average to 97.0 average - so it is getting there. The rash starts very soon after an increase - but I am not sure how long it lasts - quite a while (several weeks). There is no cream that I have found (and I have tried a lot) that will help at all. Thanks for any advice you have. Winona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
