Just saw you are hyper not hypo, sorry about that, but it still applies except the skin is more likely to become very thin, and fragile, with raised itchy patches esp on the legs but almost anywhere. I had horrible itches esp in summer. As I said, I was hyper from 13. Crazy. (I was, too!)

hi marram thanks alot for your reply, so you were 1, thats young, and if mine has just been left over the years its naturally got worse i can imagine, this year is the only time ive got enough info to go ahead and investigate my thyroid properly, before i had had test done on and off over the years, seen a few decent gps but most were very much like its in your head kind of attitude, so i joined here, and have had iodine tests done, it looked like it was showing that my iodine was low, so im in the process of doing the vitamin d and b12 tests and seeing one of those recommended doctors from louise, i need to see a doctor with a brain i think lol my symptoms are getting worse all the time, so im really going to make this year the year were i get taken seriously by gps, its gonna be a long road but i at least need some kind of treatment, i like to keep a positive outlook on all this stuff with the thyroid

danny, selenium is very important and you might look into supplementing with it. stopthethyroidmadness.com/s...

hi helvella your right and thanks for your reply too, i am going to get some of that vit d oil too, im really interested to see what the results of vit d test will be, my skin is so dry at times its unreal, i thought they may be a connection between my skin and thyroid because when my skin felt bad i had the thyroid symptoms too, def a connection, i am very greatful for the info, many thanks
