PTU is treatment for hyperthyroidism. If your on Synthroid you aren't really connected to a PTU treatment.

The skin crawling sensation is a common talked about concern for thyroid patients. Its a reaction to the meds and in most cases not really a concern as it is a short lived issue. Usually two weeks its gone along with a mild headache for some.
