question about Hashimoto's and thyroid storm
Hello--just joined this forum and am reading your post for the first time. I realize that it has been a while since you posted your message.
My question is in regard to your white hands. I was first diagnosed with a goiter at age 15, and have been on thyroid medication my entire adult life. This past year, it became more apparent that my hands were turning white. I thought that it was vitiligo. It also goes up my forearms on the underside. But earlier in my 20's, I had been diagnosed with Reynaud's disease. This is unlike those symptoms which included a reaction to cold temperatures. My fingers would slowly turn yellowish white, and my toes eventually, turned a blackish red color on the bottom. I took some RX which eventually helped the feet. And over the years, my cold sensitivity waned.
But I am curious about the white hands you have described. A nurse friend had warned me in the past of a thyroid storm.
I appreciate anyone's input they would care to give and share here.
Thanks.
