Unfortunately it is  very common for a person with one autoimmune disease to have another...:(  :(   Did your doc run vit d and calcium test on you? It could be a deficiency...have you also had a Free T3 run to see if you are converting T4 properly? That will also cause tingling in fingers and toes. Just some thoughts....good luck!

Don't over step and stress yourself out. Yes - Laura is right.

But did you know the more stress you put on yourself the MORE common you will develop MORE autoimmune problems.

Take care of yourself and get healthy and don't try to see the unknown.
