What Causes Tingling All Over The Body After Taking Levothyroxine?
I m a 62 year old female and I am Tingling all over my body. I have low thyroid and take levothyrine. I m also having with feeling overwhelmed often with tasks that I used to find fun and easy. I guess this is old age but I m worried about this constant tingling sensation that does not feel normal at all.

Hi,
Hypothyroidism affects CNS, PNS, and nerves all over the body.
Until thyroid hormone levels come to normal the tingling sensations can be felt everytime we take Levothyroxine. It is a side effect of Levothyroxine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
