tingling and cramping hands, face and feet?

Just recovering from a TT and reading your comments since the docs seem so surprised at these symptoms..I was terrified and thought I was going to have a stroke.  How is it that these surgeons know so little about the after effects..how much calcium can one take safely to mitigate these symptoms?  My hands litteraly become claws with the cramping..I am on 3,000 mgs now but the cramping starts within three hours of the last dose!

"tingling and cramping hands, face and feet"

- very obvious hypo thyroid symptoms.

"How is it that these surgeons know so little about the after effects"

- common sense and book smarts are not the same. And they dont listen to people. People that lack these talents in other careers would be fired.

You mention nothing about thyroid med, what is the plan?
