The best simple test for this is probably AMA (antibodies against

mitochondria which are tiny structures contained within cells).

The early symptoms are itching and fatigue. Other symptoms can be fatty

stools (they float), enlarged liver, abdominal pain, fatty deposits under skin.

quite possible....i agree.

but given that hypothyroidism and bilary cirrhosis are associated..if someone

has symptoms other than the fatigue and itching, they should probably check

it out.

Sometimes when the body starts to detox itself, liver functioning improved, the

toxins come out through the skin pores causing itching or even rashes. This is

just toxin elimination. I've had it often when taking stuff for detoxing candida

problems in the past. It goes away after a while.

I would think that when starting to take thyroid supplementation that it would

cause detoxing in the body because the thyroid acts on the immune system &

starts a detox process it hasn't been doing when non-functioning.

So it could cause the liver, gland, skin & other organs to function more

optimally & thus the toxins start being eliminated through the skin. That's a

sign of health, not of sickness or allergy.

Oh this is not cool. I had severe itching (driving me crazy) as you

may recall about 3 weeks ago when I made the switch from synthroid to

Armour. It did almost go away after a few weeks, but has been coming

back a little the last day or so. I'm thinking because it is about

time to increase my dose. Also having lots of neck and shoulder

achiness. I am only on 1 grain so far. Would be interested to hear

more about this though.

I have had some itching this year that I have not experienced before. For me I

don;t think it is a hypo symptom of this liver problem. I think Caroline is

right in that in detoxiong some of the toxins are forced out through the skin. I

have also had much less since I slowed my DHEA WAYYYY down.
