Pretibial Myxedema

Updated

I have concluded swelling in legs, feet and ankles is due the thyroid med not being compatible with the user and resulting in myxedema. I.don't know what the solution is but I.am sure I have it.

Hello, Marilyn! How are you?

What thyroid medication do you take? Have you been diagnosed with Grave's Disease? This condition is usually a complication of it, as listed by the NIH.

How long have you been experiencing these symptoms? Have you consulted your doctor?

I finally came to a conclusion. I take Levothyroxin. I don't have a doctor who is knowledgeable. My immune system has been out of wack for.years with dry eyes and rashes and now swelling and now leg.burning and swollen legs and ankles.
