Feet Falling Asleep/Tingling

[lilypad300]

Very recently, my feet seem to tingle & almost fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
I was taking .175 of synthroid and then after some anxiety issues, I dropped down to .137
I have been  taking the .137 for about 10 days. . .could the reduction in synthroid be causing this?
It's freaking me out. . .
I see my endo on Friday, is this even worth mentioning to him. . .I'm also terrified of looking like a crazy patient, because I do like & trust him and I don't want him to write me off as someone who's nutso.

(I had a total thyroidectomy on 8/4 for Graves Disease; non-cancerous goiter)

thanks!

I do believe your tingling could be caused by the decrease in your medication. I have had the tingling in my feet and hands as well. Last Spring I told the endo about the tingling and she increased my synthroid and the tingling went away for a few months. It is back now along with increased hair loss so I am thinking my meds need to be adjusted again. I am going to ask the Dr about Armour next week at my appt.

thanks.
it never lasts more than a few seconds. . .and then the tingles/pins & needles feeling goes away.  it's just odd, because it's new. . .i'm afraid i'm turning into a hypochondriac. . .why oh why do these symptoms/sensations mimic other afflictions. . .

i guess there's no harm in asking the endo on friday.

i've had that problem, but in my hands not my feet, it never bothered me enough to do anything about it, cuz it usually only last a few minutes. but if you are concerned you should bring it up with your doctor, they are there for you, and hopefully he wont think your crazy. i know how that feels, i saw a sleep dcotor and he told me it was all in my head, let's just say i don't see him anymore. i hope this helps and i hope it gets better!
