No help on itchy skin from head to foot. Mostly my back.

On 25 mg Thyroxine...just upped to 50.......I did that as I am starting to gain wt.

What about vitamins...D? Has anyone else experience this itchy skin, splitting nails, and dry brittle hair?

You need to full Thyroid test results including FT3 and FT4 plus thyroid antibodies and get vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin tested.

If GP unhelpful get tested privately.

Are you in UK?

No in US, but my internist is not 'into' the thyroid stuff......I do however have iron deficiency anemia and will request iron and vit. D?

I enjoy my daily read from the other side of the pond😊
