My Grave's Disease has returned after a 10 year remission. Concurrently over the past year I have developed Shamberg's Disease, one of the PPD forms, on my feet, ankles and lower legs. I know that it is not life threatening but it is unsightly from the skin staining from the iron leaking from the broken blood cells.

My question: Is this related at all to the recurrence of the Grave's Disease?

Thank you so much for all the help you give people!!!

Hi,
I hadn't heard of Shamberg;s but found it's related to hypothyroidism so you want to make sure treatment for hyper isn't causing levels to fall too low. It can also be associated with thyroid antibodies so you want to lower them by having an optimal vitamin D level and avoiding triggers of autoimmune thyroid disease.
For capillary fragility, vitamin C and flavinoids like quercetin may help. Also Vitamin A. Best, Elaine
