I showed my mom and she told me it could be that Im dehydrated... What do you think ??? do you think that's a possibility ?? What should I do ?? drink like... more water ? I take like 6 glasses per day... 
Thanks for your help ! |
Dry skin is a symptom of hypothyroidism. As i said to you earlier your doctor has you on 50mcg of T4 which is a joke.
Test your Free T3 and Free T4 levels and get both in high end of normal range to feel your best.
Forget about TSH it is useless.
Also are you a male or female.
If female you also need to check your estrogen levels as low estrogen will cause dry skin. Severely low estrogen will cause panic attacks and anxiety attacks. Good idea to check estrogen, progesterone and DHEA levels.
