What Causes Tingling Sensation In Feet, Face And Arms While Treating Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism?

Question: YES I HAVE HOSHIMOTOS AND HAVE FEET FACE AND ARM TINGLINGLING, IS THIS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THAT OR SOMETHING ELSE, I am quite concerned about MS
Brief Answer:
Need examination
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern. Hashimoto's hypothyroidism may cause neuropathy occasionally which can cause tingling and numbness. Besides, people with hasimoto's disease can also have vitamin b12 deficiency due to associated pernicious anemia. It is worth checking for Vitamin B12 levels. Please get a fasting blood sugar also done.
Multiple Sclerosis ( MS) presents with more obvious signs than tingling alone. However, you may need an examination and tests to evaluate further.
