Help I'm very scared

Hey all,
I'm having a tough time this evening. the reason being I'm not sure if my problems are being caused by lyme or hypo.

My problem at this point is my right arm is very cramped and it feels very weak.

Is that related to hypo?

Help!! starting to panic. JKV

Personally I would be off to ER. It is best not to try to guess what it is. It could well be a sign of stroke or even heart attack. If it were both arms I would have said low calcium.
If it has come on suddenly, you really need professional medical help.
Cheers

I am hypo also and had a similar thing happen, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt very weak all over, my limbs were very heavy, crampy and I felt like I might pass out, well I went to the ER and they found nothing, that was about 6 weeks ago, and I haven't been the same since, that happened after about 7 weeks on a new dosage, so I attributed that to my new dosage, I have decided to lower my synthroid to a dosage I felt good at. (with docs approval).

I don't know what to tell you other than my experience.  I hate this drug, I would almost rather not be on anything.

I hate to say it but I think you should be scared. I have been waiting for someone to answer about lymes. I know nothing about that.But the heart a do keep up with. I have trouble. If I had that kind of pain in my arm I would be on my way to the hospital. My husband did and found he had a slight stoke. He was lucky.
