Hypothyroidism :: Hashimoto - Keep Checking Your TSH
I had right part of my thyroid removed last year due to the tumor. I didn't get any treatment, doctors were saying that everything is ok, just need to do TSH tests every few months.
During this year I had loads of strange symptoms like hair lose, weight gain, sleeplessness, late periods, itchy and dry skin, cold hands and feet etc. Doctors were saying it's stress, so when I was in Poland for holiday I paid to see specialists: endocrinologist and gynecologist,
I've done TSH test and it came out 5,3.
Endocrinologist said even if it didn't reach the maximum (5.5) my thyroid is on the border of efficiency and I need to start the treatment. He said that healthy person has TSH level between 1 and 1.5. He diagnosed Hashimoto and underactive thyroid.
I am on Euthyrox 50, checked TSH after 2 weeks and it was 2,74, but GP (in England) said that IT'S NORMAL. They were saying it when I was telling them about the symptomes I had and how did I feel.
I also got special diet to help me lose weight (I gained about 2 stones in one year without the reason).
I just want you to keep asking your GP's to send you to specialists, don't let them tell you it's all good when you apparently don't feel good. It's shame that you have to pay to get proper treatment because NHS is saving money and GP's don't want to refer people to hospital.

My sons skin is peeling off of his hands and feet. It's not painful for him and it doesn't seem to be itching. It looks like blisters but there's no puss. Now his nails are coming off. I took him to see pediatricians but none of them knew what it was. One thought it was eczema but it was ruled out after test. I'm really worried and want to help him. Does anybody have a clue or maybe have seen this before?
View 1 RepliesGeneral :: Burning In My Feet, Legs , Arms And Hands
I am a 40 year old male about 30 pds overweight. I developed sixth nerve palsy in February 2014 and it finally cleared up three months later on its own? In July 2014 I started burning in my left arm and hand. As time has went by until now the burning has got worse in both feet and legs up to the knee. I also burn in both arms and hands. I burn across my chest and left shoulder also some. I have had several blood test, MRI, nerve electro study. The Dr. Found that I failed my oral glucose tolerance test twice and a skin biopsy showed small nerve fiber damage. I am currently on metformin 500 mg 2 x a day and gabapentin 300 mg 3 x a day. The gabapentin doesn't help. I have taken lisinopryl hctz 10- 12.5 mg and citalopram 20 mg for several years, could the burn come from these medicines? Is it because of diabetes 2, even though my a1c has been only between 5.6 - 5.9? Any ideas on the cause or what to do?

View 4 RepliesBlue Nails When Cold Or Washing Hands
Over the last month my left thumb nail and occasionally my right will go a bluey/purple colour when I am cold or washing my hands. I went to see my doctor about this who suggested it was probably just stress and to take a multivitamin(!) However since seeing my doctor my fingers and occasionally my palms are going blue as well! On top of this both of my ring finger nails are permanently blue? I don't have an appointment until the 24th and am really worried because everything I have read online is suggesting heart/lung disease etc. I am only 26 years old!! I have been going through a very stressful time recently with losing my house and then a family member and am suffering with anxiety.

View 1 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: Hands, Feet And Face Swelling, Joint Pain
I have had Hashimoto's for twelve years. Seems like my levels have never been "right". I've tried Synthroid, Levo and Armour and nothing seems to keep my levels steady. I went to Dr four months ago with severe swelling in hands feet and face and severe joint pain and fatigue. My TSH was 34. He switched me from levo to armour (90 mgs). The first week I felt much better but started swelling again and had terrible fatigue. Went back about two weeks later and he changed me to synthroid 150mgs. The swelling got a little better but still fatigued and joint pain is always there. I went to my gyno for yearly exam two weeks ago and they tested my TSH. it was .05 so gyno lowered synthroid to 125 mg and told me to come back in eight weeks. I'm feeling terrible again.. in bed today because of severe fatigue and joint pain and hands and feet are terribly swollen. Had anyone else had these symptoms with Hashimoto's? I'm wondering if it's the medication that's making me sick.

My friend is staying with me and is feeling really ill and dizzy, his hands and feet are swollen, his neck is swollen and so is his face. His glands and lymph nodes are really swollen. He is really fatigued and has a sore throat. mostly it sounds like Flu symptoms apart from the swelling so can anyone help with an accurate diagnosis, he had his tonsils removed so it isn't tonsillitis.
I gave him co-codamol 30mg/500mg and ibuprofen 600mg tabs, he feels a little better but the swelling hasn't gone down much at all.

Cold Feet And COPD
I know a lot of people that have cold extremities and they don't have COPD. My adoptive Mom was one of those people. Her hands and feet were always freezing cold and she did not have COPD. I've had cold feet and hands all of my life long before the diagnosis of COPD.
View 2 RepliesHemochromatosis :: Cold Feet ?
I've been diagnosed with Haemochromatosis . My ferritin level was 1421.
I've only had 4 venesections so far but my levels are down to 700.
I know ferritin levels can fluctuate but to me this is a drastic reduction considering I've only been having treatment for a month.
Is this normal.
Also my feet get extremely cold at night if I'm just sitting down Reading or watching TV. I also have to wear bed socks at night as they are so cold. Could this be due to bad circulation and is it a symptom of Haemochromatosis.

I've started taking 25MG of nortriptyline for migraines- my dosage goes up to 50 MG at the end of the week. The first few days of taking it, I experienced physical exhaustion and grogginess, as well as numbness in my legs, feet, and hands, but nothing too bad that impaired me. I also have felt more mentally focused. Any thoughts?
View 2 RepliesMultiple Sclerosis :: Cold Feet
Anyone else here experience extremely cold feet? Last night I was up till 3am because they felt so cold. When I feel them with my hands after repeatedly trying to warm them, they don't feel cold to the touch anymore but still feel cold... It got to the point last night where they were painful. They feel cold all day too though I'm able to ignore it somewhat when I'm walking around and doing other things. At night, it's not something I can ignore and it's keeping me awake. What do you do if you experience this? I should mention I've had numbness in my legs below the knee and feet for sometime now.

View 3 RepliesFoot / Ankle :: Grayish Toenails And Cold Feet
I have suffered from cold feet for as long as I can remember. My feet are almost always cold and that is nothing new to me. Last year I did have a problem with some toenail fungus and I was able to take care of it. Even though the nails grew back now, they are still quite thick, Perhaps still recovering.
What I have noticed is that they are often/mostly (? at least when I am not wearing shoes I can notice this) a greyish bluish color...
Is this always related to bad circulation or could it be related to a fungus that is hopefully recovering?
I also have leg cramps of late - not sure it is associated as I recently switched jobs and went from sitting down most of the time, to standing up most of the time - so perhaps this had an affect on my legs.
I am mostly worried about cardiac related issues... of course I can go run to the doctor but they will just bounce me around to other doctors and I am curious to hear from people that might have first hand experience
Multiple Sclerosis :: Cold Burning Sensation In My Feet And Arms
I am a 19 year old male. I have a cold sensation in both my feet and hands, this is accompanied by fatigue and heavy feeling hands making typing difficult. I also get relieved by a hot shower (which is weird as the sensation completely goes and this is atypical of MS). This generally causes issues for about 2 weeks at a time and attacks often come 6 weeks apart. I have noticed that sometimes and attack will start after a heavy night's drinking (no I am not an alcoholic and don't drink regularly)

I have been diagnosed with WG and am on the usual medication.
WG attacked my nervous system. My feet are swollen and movement is painful. At night the swellings subsided but the moment I get up and move around the swelling flares up.
My hands have also been affected. The fingers are dead, no feeling and no muscle movement possible - cannot use the left hand at all. The right hand I can still use but the skin feels numb.
