Although I wouldn't rule out the diabetes thing, I would try going

to a chiropractor. It sounds like you could have a pinched nerve or

something like that. I have to say that I LOVE my chiro & I always

feel better when I leave the office.

On a side note, I was in the city yesterday & I thought of you. My

daughter had surgery at UCSF (her 7th). She's doing great (we

already went to the park today). Glad we're over that storm we had

yesterday!

Take care,

Hi Sheila-

That is so weird. Whenever I exercise my toes go numb! I don't

have any thirst or urination problems though.

Take care,

> I have some kind of circulation problem...not in my legs but in my

feet. They go numb on every day when I exercise on my stepper. I

feel it after 15 min. I have to get off after a half hour because

they're just so numb. it drives me crazy! >

Before I was diagnosed with thyroid problems I went to my doctor because I was waking up in bed at night with a completely numb leg or arm or both. at first I kept thinking I had been lying funny so it took me 3 months to finally figure out that I wasn't lying funny at all that my limbs were going numb on their own. On one occasion the phone rang and I lept out of bed to answer it and I collapsed on the floor because my leg was completely numb.

Anyway since I became controlled with my thyroid, I have not had any more numbness. When my TSH begins rising and I start to feely hypo again, the numbness returns. Along with having really cold hands and feet.suuzin wrote:
