Please can somebody help me - I've heard that thyroid issues could cause numbness? Can anyone explain why?
I've been suffering since Xmas days with numb arms, legs, hands, tongue and lips. I've been investigating thyroid issues for a while and posted my results previously with someone suggesting they indicate secondary hypothyroidism (outside of range low ft4 and low normal tsh, also tpo antibodies of 31 with range of 35+). My b12, calcium, ferritin etc all within range. My Gp doesn't think my problems are thyroid related but is referring me to neurologist to rule out MS...
Thank you x
B12 deficiency commonly causes numbness too. have you had that checked?
Yes and apparently that was fine as within range. Is that the only thing that might cause numbness in relation to thyroid?
Thanks
Within what range was magnesium? Within the Nhs range? I would still consider taking a decent magnesium product every day.
TiredJess, you need to know what your results are and where in range they are. Ferritin 12 and 300 can be in normal range but you'll almost certainly feel fatigued and unwell with ferritin 12.
