yellow hands

[bandicoot]

I have been told by my endocrinologist that I have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism but my test results fall in the normal range and he will not presently do anything about it. I already take levothyroxine but have yellow colouring in my hands and feet. Have been tested for liver, kidney problems but all negative.Also am borderline addison's but again no treatment offered. I feel so tired all the time and fall asleep whenever I sit down.I can't remember the simplest of things, am cold etc. What do I do now?

Thanks for the advice, will give it a try when I next contact doctor. I am getting really fed up with it especially the yellow hands and feet as I feel a bit of a freak!

In most cases a trial of thyroid hormone may be worthwile depending on your labs.  Would need to watch adrenal status in the process.
