I feel that. I also always have purple swollen feet, and if I stand for a short period the purple color spreads up to the top of my thighs. Anyone else?????

Are you diagnosed with thyroid disease? On meds?

Do you have TSH and free t4 levels you could post with ranges?

I wish I could be more help on that but I'm not.  I'm still trying to learn alot about this frustrating disease.  I do know that my legs get very tired and weak as well.  Don't know why either!!  There are a lot of people on here that know a lot so maybe you will get a good answer soon!!

Sorry, I couldn't help!!
