Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Dr. no just said a few days ago that most men who start T need to raise their thyroid dose. And if your T4 is below range, you've already confirmed it's your thyroid. > > OK I know I am not a spring chick (52) but in the last year my skin has really changed. It is really dry and thin and cuts or tears easily. Has anyone noticed this? I am questioning if my Thyroid is causing problems. My T4 is just below the lower limit. > > Arkansas > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Dan read this long Pathetic list of problems people have with Thyroid problems. One is dry cracking skin. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/long-and-pathetic/ Co-Moderator Phil > From: Dan Meatheany <dmeatheany@...> > Subject: Skin Affects > > Date: Friday, July 30, 2010, 7:56 AM > OK I know I am not a spring chick > (52) but in the last year my skin has really changed.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey Barb - yes I actually made a copy and taking it with me next week for my annual exam. I never did a MRI and was wondering if maybe I did have a pituitary problem since I was low on several hormones. Now it appears that the feed back loops really get screwed up once we start TRT. I had low normal TSH and Low T4 but low normal T3. Looks like I am falling into the condition Dr. no posted.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 My skin is the same way, but really only on the backs of my hands. Very dry, and cracked looking no matter how much lotion I use. I also can cut myself there very easy as well. So far all I know is that I have low T, but am going to be having other tests done soon.
