instruction: hi doctor I was diagnosed with hypothyearoidism five years ago and currently taking 100 my of synthroid my most recent lab work showed that I am now at hyperthyearoid levels in the past I tried reduced levels of synthroid but felt terrible I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about 15 years ago with tingling and burning in the face and limbs my neurologist looked for is due to my sister having the disease the neurologist said only to contact him if it got worse I used to get two or three episodes per year mostly during stress or period of fatigue in the last six months or so I have almost constant tingling in my face feet and arms and numbness on the sole of my foot burning is off and on some days worse than others I mentioned it to my go at an appointment about one month ago but he said it was nothing to worry about researched that thyearoid problems can cause tingling burning and numbness could this be from thyearoid usually I would push my go but my husband was recently diagnosed with late onset is five months ago and I feel doctors will think I am a hypochondriac I am planning to visit my doctor after the holidays but my husband had his attack recently and I am focused on his issues I am just curious if I should be worried please help
output: hi there are two issues involved thyearoid problem and the other one is if you have is about thyearoid you are taking 100 mug not 100mg synthroid since long my suggestion is to look for thyearoid levels and consider tapering slowly over six months you can discuss with your doctor for the same next are your tingling and numbness it could be because of diabetes I am not sure if you have diabetes if yes reasonable control of sugar is required if you are not tested for diabetes then get tested for the same as you have hypothyearoidism there is a good chance that you may also have diabetes tingling and numbness can also be because of vitamin b12 deficiency check for levels of the same as it can be easily corrected with supplements multiple sclerosis can be diagnosed clinically and by specific laboratory tests if your doctor has already done it and assured that you do not have it then no need to worry you have fear and anxiety about getting the same as you have a family history and your husband is also diagnosed with it recently if you have any weakness in legs or hands blurring of vision and paresthesia in extremities then consult your doctor thanks
