When you say burning what exactly do you mean. Is it inside your body or on your skin.

I recently had a skin burning issue with sharp stabbing pains. It was in my breast and moved around to the centre of my back. Later I got a sort of rash. I thought it was shingles. I went to see 2 GP’s about it as it went on for about 2/3 weeks. Both said it wasn’t shingles. The only thing that had changed was my T3 medication from a German private brand to an NHS brand Sigma. It went away when I stopped NHS brand and changed back

Does any of this fit with your symptoms ??

I had same exact thing McPammy about a year after thyroidectomy. I was treated for shingles for weeks with this drug that didn't touch whatever those bumps were....still think it's thyroid related since I get hives now.

Do you think it could be medication related. Did you change your brand at any time. Have you recently or have you needed a dose increase or decrease coincided with the skin issues. Mine felt like nerve pain. The sharp stabbing pain and burning of skin. Drs said it definitely wasn’t a shingles rash. As I had no blisters at all. What brand are you on. T4 or T3 or both.

Do you know if you need a decrease or increase in the thyroid meds. I needed an increase. Have you had your bloods done recently.

Do you take T4 and T3 medication
