The itching can get to you. Use moisturizer daily and light oil when done in shower.  I too have tyroid.  SOmetimes I have itched so much I wanted to go to the hospital.  I have found a tylenol helps take it away.  Dry Skin normall, thyroid and Hpc all are pointing to very itchy skin.  Some folks recomment Gold Bond lotion.

Niceguy:

thanks for the response (although not what I was hoping for :-)

platelet count 12/4/2006 = 300
12/30/2006 = 371
not tested on 1/3/07

"prothrombin time, INR?" not sure what these are but
12/30/2006 report says Protime & INR normal but APTT was high at 37  (ref 25 - 35)

other reports do not have anything listed like that
