ITCHY SKIN

[Chicken12]

Recent blood tests show I have over medicated on T3 and T4. I increased dosage without checking bloods I thought I was under medicated. Surprised how similar under and over active symptoms are.

Free T4 23.0 (10.0-19.8)

Free T3 7.7 (3.5-6.5)

TSH 0.53 (0.35-5.50)

Meds were taken approx 29 before bloods drawn.

Stopped all medication two days ago as per advice from this site.

3 weeks ago developed itchy skin. Started on base of back and bottom of legs, was very slight but has spread to whole body and driving me crazy. Now disturbing sleep. Palms of hands even itching and scalp!

Few red marks on skin hope from scratching and not start of psoriasis.

Is itching a result of over medicating.

Any advice? Aloe vera not working.

I’ve also just started getting itchy legs after a dose increase ... so I’ll be interested in any advice
