Hypothryoidism with peripheral neuropathies

by jpan, Oct 06, 2009 08:00PM
Hi - I just wanted to post that I too have the muscle twitching and am hypothyroid.  I don't really have any other symptoms except for the annoying twitching.  Mine started about a year or two after I started taking thyroid medicine.  My twitching has been going on now for about 4 or 5 years.  It can get worse if I am stressed out or have exercised extremely.  I have never really had any checking done by a neurologist as I have always suspected that it was due to my being hypothyroid.  Just recently I have started to freak out about it a little bit thinking, geez, so much time has gone by and it still hasn't stopped I probably should have had this checked out.  However, I would be super stressed out waiting for the test results to come back.  I am having my B12 and other vitamin levels checked out though.  Do you think I should visit the neurologist?  Or wait to see if I stay status quo?
