POLL/Neuropathy & Thyroid-Please Join

[msfergy]

Ok I have decided to place a Poll on here myself.
How many of you out there have Neuropathy problems along with Thyroid? If you do give a breif description of the problems and what type of thyroid problem you have. If enough of us out there suffer from this then maybe the Endo's would relate to it, as we can print this out and take it to the Doctor with us. Thanks for participating.

Yeah, need to talk to dr about my face, but seems like a mute point now.  It's not numb, it just sags like someone who's had a stroke.  When I get really tired, like right now, it looks like the left side of my face is trying to slide off my skull.  When I'm well rested not as bad.  May be a case of Bell's, but at the time it affected my eye so badly that couldn't drive myself to dr. and of course every one in my family thinks I am a hypochondriac.  I think people look at us and go, well, I can't see it and it's been so long, it must be in her head.  Sure you have come across some of this.  Well, this is my family.

Eventually will talk to dr about it, I guess.  Seems like so many more pressing matters. lol

Hello, them pains under my arms do go to my breast also, i have always had sensitive breast and cystic thought it was because i drink coffee and smoke. Sorry to here about the flu, yuck!  About your face, my face was numb on the left side for awhile but it has went away since i had stayed on sublingo B12, that B12 does help with numbness because i can tell a diff. And you may of had a episode of bells if it hasn't straightened out, when i first got sick in december i thought i had a stroke and went to the ER and that doc just looked at me and said i can tell you didnt have a stroke because my face all seemed to look ok.

Sorry, I just read your post to me from last week some time.  Had a killer flu so was not on here much at all.  

I get those pains from under my arms too.  Kinda scary, huh?  Thought it was just me.  Okay, here's another more personal one.  Those little stitch pains in your breasts?  I know all women get these, but I have had these so bad in the years since I have been dealing with thyriod problems.  They're everywhere, not one specific place.  My mom thinks I'm crazy.  They last soooooo long.  Just wondering.

After reading all of these posts am wondering something about my face.  Think I'll post my own question now so maybe will be seen by more people.  Oh, the left side of my face looks like I have had a mild stroke, but it is not paralyzed like Bell's Palsy.  Don't know.

Thank you for this thread.  Was another place I thought I was alone.

God bless you.

Hi, Tina--

Thanks for pointing my nose in the right direction! I am about to leave my office for home, and then tomorrow and Wednesday probably will be wild and woolly days. I will find your previous posts, though, and be glad to know more of your story. For the moment, do take good care of yourself. You are in a tough situation, for sure.

Sending you an e-hug,
Jenny
