It took about a whole year for my heels to lose the orange color.

My hands were quicker.

My bloodwork was very borderline, but the endo did check my skin and see the orange. I had a right sided goiter, and a no take up of the radioactive technicium for the testing on the left side.
So the final diagnosis was "atypical" since I had no Hash antibodies. My goiter regressed, and after more than a decade, I started having palpitations from the T4. Even after 1/2 dose lowered from 75mcg ... so I stopped the thyroid. My tests have all been about the same as when I was on it....so whatever was wrong with me seems to be over.

It has all been a great mystery.
