Chronic paresthesia

What a strange name for having tingling in your hands and feet. Sort of a pins and needles feeling. Before I went on the thyroid hormones I had it bad. At first it was in my hands and I thought it was from being on the computer too much. Then it spread to my feet. Made it very hard to walk sometimes.

Now that I have been on the thyroid hormone it has faded and somedays it's gone entirely. Only time will tell if it will go away entirely.

Saw the Doctor today

Asked him just how high was my thyroid level. It was 100 when I was diagnosed. 86 now. Normal is 3. He wants me at 2. I guess I have a long way to go yet.
