PTU and tingling

[Kiki_76]

hi I’m on PTU 50mg twice per day. Started it about 8 weeks ago. Thing is I’ve got tingling in my feet and back and arms. Is this a side effect? Will it subside? It’s so irritating!

So after 8 weeks its time to get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing

Low B12, folate and vitamin D are all common with autoimmune diseases

Low B12 frequently causes pins and needles

When were these last tested

What vitamin supplements are you taking

Test thyroid levels early morning

Stop any supplements that contain biotin 5-7 days before test

Hey there again ;

Has the anxiety eased - do you any new symptoms apart from this tingling - which could be down to too low levels of the core strength vitamins and minerals - do you have readings / ranges for ferritin, folate, B12 and vitamin D ?

When is your next hospital appointment -

Have you been able to get your initial results when diagnosed showing the TSH + T3 and T4 readings and ranges - you are legally entitled to copies of all blood tests -

I think all we have had is a positive TRab for Graves Disease ?

Do you have any follow up TSH T3 and T4 blood test results since being on the Anti Thyroid drugs ?
