Problems with loss of movement?

Anyone had this? Could this be thyroid related?

Hi

Could you expand a bit on this question, please.

Hi Shaws,

Sorry that was quite a short question really wasn't it! I mean sort of getting periods where you can't move, say, your hand. The movement in my hand feels really odd a lot of the time since it happened. It sort of comes with numbness and pins and needle type sensation. Just wondering if this could be a thyroid thing, as I know pins and needles and numbness can be.

Thanks xx

I can't say I have had movement problems but when hypo I often wake up in the night with one of my arms completely numb. I also get a lot of tingling when very hypo. Sorry I haven't really answered your question though xx

Just for your own peace of mind, ask your GP to refer you to a neurologist. Mine did and was told there was nothing wrong.

Sometimes a B12 deficiency can cause this too, as well as several other deficiencies. Has your GP done a Vit B (it should be towards the upper of the range).

Hi I assume you have ruled out Carpal tunnel ( early morning a good indication) and neck problems, pressure on nerve It is possible it is low vit D or too much or too little calcium ( corrected calcium ). If it continue I would get expert medical advice. if you see an endo that would be a good starting point.You do not say if your thyroid is controlled!

i hope things improve.
