Suggest Remedy For Mouth Dryness And Flaky Skin During Menopause

I am post menopausal as well as have had radioactive iodine treatment on my thyroid when I was 20 yrs old. 2 Yrs ago I lost most of the hair under my arms, have dry flaking skin, eyes ,mouth dryness and begged to have my thyroid meds increased slightly. Years ago one practitioner lowered it thinking that although I was in the normal rage, might develop osteoporisis some day. I felt good on my prior dose that the endocrinologist set. Now that menopause has com verified by very low estrogen and fish at 75.2 at the age of 56 post partial hysterectomy, I believe I need to go back up given these progressive symptoms. What do you think?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, two conditions might be playing role behind this one is menopause and second would be thyroid disease, in such condition hormone replacement can be tried, but more important is just try to adjust it, but of course thyroid function need to be taken care, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
