does anyone else have dry red skin on the face which goes down from the nose to under the chin, if i put oilatum or cetraben or similar on it my face burns, does anyone else have any suggestions , is this linked to levothyroxine, im on 125 a day, it seems worse since it was upped from 75 a day, i also have dizziness when lying down flat or changing sides in bed , and general unsteadiness and cloudy head, is this normal when youre hypothyroid? any help greatly appreciated . thanks

Have you had your B12 tested as I felt alot of dizziness and it turned out to be very low B12.
