Does anyone on replacement thyroxin - either synthetic or natural- suffer from sleep paralysis?

Hi

Sorry you had no replies - hopefully someone with relevant experience will pick this up from Latest Activity....

[TSH110]

I got it prior to treatment and it persisted in the early days of treatment. It was in my arms which I could not feel or move on waking, they would then get pins and needles and eventually come back to life, I used to lift the dead one with the one that woke up first! I had suffered from it for so long I didn't even consider it odd. All my sisters got it (one has had a thyroidectomy, another has endocrine problems currently being investigated and the other one is ok but has a few mild symptoms like the dead arms). I had thought it was due to a b vitamin deficiency. It has stopped now with the higher dosage of levothyroxine treatment.

Sorry that this does not properly answer your question.

Thanks TSH110, your have answered my Q very well .. A lot of what you say is familiar to me - I too have the "dead" limb thing and use the "good" side to help and yes to an extent have got used to the experience!
