I have not notified my doctor that I have decreased my thyroxine to 40 mg as advised by someone on here because 2 month ago i was rushed to hospital with numbness in the brain and face and hands and back and neck

I am freezing cold and got 2 fan heaters on at full blast

I took some tablets from tesco called gingko bilobo which contains calcium carbonate - I took them without looking at them. I had some crab meat, soup, bread, dips, cream with egg yolk and vannila and cinnemon,

I took some emergen-c sachets which contain strong amounts of vitamin c and other vitamins too such as zinc b6 b12 and so on.

feeling stiff and numb all over now help help

Hi It may be start of a bug or could be thyroid or diabetes. depends on blood tests for both.For thyroid be sure to have TSH, T4 and Free T3 done.

You seem to have experienced a severe raynauds attack

Many auto immune conditions seem to overlap in many people.

I haven't been diagnosed with thyroid but a lot that is said on this forum makes sense and it seems that you may have experienced the extreme end of raynauds.

I find the best way to combat attacks is to prevent them occurring

This is by not letting your body cool too much. Its better achieved through eating well and regularly.

Not what you're looking for?
