Mine was liquid. Same thing, though. Nothing like being a nuclear hazard
zone. Talk about the kiss of death! ;-)

Polly, did it get so bad that it affected your eyes? Mine were affected,
and I went through orbital decompression. Got tired of looking like a frog
and didn't want to go blind. It left me looking like a raccoon for a few
weeks, although I took arnica (Leopard's Bane) both before and after surgery
to keep the swelling/bruising down. Some folks asked if I had been in a
fight. Standard reply: "You should see the other guy!"
Thankfully, my Synthroid 125's are doing the trick.
