Burning soles of feet

[Daffers123]

Hello

I am getting this a lot, know it can be thyroid related - does anyone know if it's the T3 levels causing it or T4

Thanks

When people post about the feeling of burning, especially of feet, I quite often post this link.

It is getting on a bit but nonetheless it does give an overview of the causes of burning feet. And I have not seen a more recent article which I could use instead.

Definitely it was low T3 that caused mine. It happened every evening and when I was in bed but in the morning had gone. Then it returned again in the evening. This pattern all stopped when I started T3, having had a blood test that showed my T3 was under range.

Thanks for that - just had my results and T3 is too low so hopefully...

[Hennerton in reply to Daffers123]

It may take a few weeks to improve, once you start T3, or are you already taking it?

[Daffers123 in reply to Hennerton]

I am on a very low dose but increasing as trying T3vonky (if I can get past the hypo period !)

Thanks for the info though, very encouraging. Its such a weird thing burning soles. Glad yours went away

I tried T3 only for about eight months but in the end went back to T4/3 combo. Good luck with it. I assume you have Paul’s book, which was why I tried it. It was a great help to me at the time.

Low B vitamins often involved

When were vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin last tested

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking?

[Daffers123 in reply to SlowDragon]

Thank you have had tests for vits as per what you mention, done last week. Am supplementing the Bs and D, ferritin was tested March not top but in upper quarter of range.

It's a symptom of B12 deficiency or of Pernicious Anemia.

Thank you for info

This is described as a symptom in Stop the Thyroid Madness by Janie A. Bowthorpe.

I had it when I did body combat at the gym before i was on T4, when I was on a good dose, it went.

[Daffers123]

I have that book, will look up. Many thanks

It is also a symptom of pernicious anaemia, so I'd ask GP to check as this condition is also a serious condition and you must be prescribed vitamin B12 injections regularly.
