Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 This sounds like neuropathy. Do you have any problems with numbness in feet/legs of fingers? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi Val Thanks for your answer.I can not say i feel any numbness yet. I can describe it as excessive burning at this moment.It feels as if my ankles or swollen inside and there is a circulation problem. Unfortunately i am a smoker. Gets worse when i smoke. It is only localised at my feet,including ankles at this moment. I am really scared of this. bw nil Re: Re: Still sweating @ 35 msg of cytomel This sounds like neuropathy.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 There is often " no known cause " according to doctors. That's the way it is with me. I had such pain in my feet, I thought it must be from my lower back, but I've done the whole neurological testing and they say no. I have polyneuropathy and " sock effect " foot numbness and they don't know why. I had burning needles and stabbing knives so bad I had a terrible time sleeping, but one thing that I *know* that's helped is Armour! I'm no less numb in my feet and they hurt to be walked on, but they don't burn and zing all the time and I rarely wake up with my hands numb anymore. Exercise also helps. My MIL takes Neurontin like candy and she just has burning in her feet. I think they have now found that to be a not-so-hot a thing to take.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Janis,Do you have Hashis? I also had the same thing come on very suddenly (the neuropathy part) altho I had great fatigue symptoms for about 9 mo prior and was put on antidepressants, of course, for depression (which really wasn't how I felt). At the time this fatigue overwhelmed me, it came on after a major 10 day flu following just a month after major abdominal surgery. I FELT like my immune system had been wiped out, which was pooh-poohed and it was assigned to being 'just' depressed' (TSH 1.32). 8 mo later I had some odd out of nowhere swelling of my feet (never had before during 2 pregnancies) and the burning, stabbing you described (and feet fireworks) began (TSH 3.5). For a couple years it was hard walking (hurt) and I slipped down the stairs a lot. Getting to sleep was impossible w/o vico until sent to neurologist, who also Dx me w/sensory polyneuropathy. I did use Neurontin (up to 3600 for a while w/o problems, then slowly went down (TSH 2.8). Raynauds was also a real problem in there at times, was actually better the last 2 years until very recently. I actually have MORE feeling in my feet now, again.Idiopathic PN as you say, BUT my reflexes w/slightly brisk which was odd, so was tested for MS (neg) year after this began. I wonder now whether this was Adrenal or beginning of Hashis. I don't know, because it wasn't until my TSH went up to 31 and a new doc (I was fired) that Hypo & Hashis Dx'ed 7 yrs later. Anyone have any guestimates/experiences?When I couldn't even keep my eyes open (2006), TSH was only 2.8, fT4 .8 (.8-1.8) SBHG 118 H ( 18-114), am Cortisol 23 H (4-22), D.3 12 L. But 6 mo later in 2007, TSH 31, aTPO 61 (under 35) Cholesterol 260 H (under 200). Once on T.4, and a bit of T.3, Cholesterol higher 296, fT4 still L, but fT3 high indicating (I now know), hormones pooling with dropping Ferritin 37 down to 16 and adrenals tanking. So frustrating when consistent tests not done!Now that I am on 50 T.3 only w/supported adrenals & 30 HC, consistent temps, Raynauds is again bothersome!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What is Bromelain? Yes, I will go look it up <G> I have a terrible back, but the 2 neurosurgeons said that they couldn't guarantee that they could help the numbness or the neuropathy. One said " but I can keep you out of diapers! " . Gee, good reason to let someone mess with my back.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have some antibodies, but the doctors all ignored that. My pain and numbness came on gradually 20 years ago and it was after moving 3 times in 2 months! I did have bad disks, which have since improved to almost normal. I have spinal stenosis and bad joints in 3 lumbar vertebrae plus a node on a joint pushing into the spinal column. That's where I get the bad back and sciatica from which is what I thought caused the feet problem, but have been told not likely. Pretty wierd, though. I used to have exceedingly cold feet and legs, but they've not been since I've been on Armour! Janis Whitcomb, Auburn, WA janisw2@... http://trotting-horse.com/ Pretty wierd!
