I have peripheral neuropathy which causes burning under my skin over all my body. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid (which can cause neuropathy) but any time i take medications for it like t3's, Synthroid, or a natural thyroid, it will cause the burning under the skin to get worse so-I can't get better. I have searched online and found many other people who feel this way but no one has an answer. As far as I know thyroid medicine should not cause burning unless it's making it over active (but I'm hypo) . Does anyone have any ideas I can bring to my doctor to talk about? I feel like I'm on fire. If the thyroid medicine is able to make the burnin worse that may mean that it's my thyroid that's causing the burning and that means it could be fixed and I can get my life back!
My last thyroid test was
Free t4: 1.6
T3, total: 1.0
TSH 3.25
