Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 My entire life I have had severly dry skin. Now, since I started on Synthroid my skin is sooo oily. It is gross as I am not used to it. I am on 0.075 mcg to start, will repeat labs in about 2 weeks and then up dose incrementally. Latest labs showed TSH 2.0, can't remember other labs but did report on website. I know I need to get the TSH down. I have seen Orzeck 2 times now, he actually met and talked to the surgeon (Quast) who removed part of my thyroid and tumors and they discussed treatment. They feel that I need to be on t4 to stop any more tumors from growing. I am giving Orzeck a chance but willing to change later if he doesn't work out. Other dr. will prescribe Armour but wanted me to give Synthroid a chance first. Is oily skin and acne normal on synthroid? Also, I have total brain fog...can't remember names, finish sentences, etc. It is so embarassing. Is this from the meds or the hashis's? I am starting to get confused, I think. I was starting to feel better, gaining strength, but now have bad cold, with fever. So it is hard to judge what other symptoms I have besides what I have already stated.
