Tingling and Hypothyroidism

by KellyLyn, Mar 28, 2008 12:41AM

I have had hypothyroidism for 10 years and have Type 1 diabetes for over 12 years now. I have tingling all over my body about once a day, sometimes twice. My doctor says its my thyroid/diabetes and not to worry. Just recently the back of my thigh started lightly tingling and now is numb.. This has lasted a month so far. Some days arnt as bad as others. My doctors says its not MS, he thinks might be pinched nerve? Since these symptoms do resemble MS, how can my doctor be so sure its not? The body tingling started a year ago and never really went away, does that sound like thyroid/diabetes induced?

Thanks!!!!
