It has been 3.5 months since I (24, Male) am taking Pulmunory TB medicines.

I have a weird feeling of COLD SENSATIONS( might be a burning sensation) in my foot, legs, waist, back and others part as if Diclofenac (Pain relieving gel) is applied over it and the cold is coming out of my skin.

Do others also feel the same. I googled not sure though, It might be related to PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY or HYPOTHYROIDISM.

I talk to my doctor, he didn't take much interest, as if it was of no concern.

I have no cough, not a single time. No other symptom, except this cold sensation, little weakness and probably low BP sometimes. The last CT scan report was normal.

Feel free to comment and share your experience.

Deepak do you take Pyridoxine/B6? In the UK this is given to prevent peripheral neuropathy.

I am clear of treatment but still get the cold feeling across my back like lungs are filled with ice, allthough it happened more while i was taking rifampcin. It seems to happen before i get chest infection almost like early warning system.
