Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I just had a nerve conduction study to try to determine why > my left hand (and foot) have become less coordinated lately.

Was the doctor aware of your low adrenal function or hypoglycemia? You're saying he thought it was thyroid related, but I know PN is usually associated with diabetes, which is high blood sugar killing the nerves, yet you have low blood sugar. I felt my attacks came on when I was experiencing low blood sugar too. My research made me think it was diabetes related, which is why I radically changed our diet. My recent bloodwork shows normal fasting glucose, though yours did show on the low side. I still get the occasional buzzing in my left foot, though the severity has decreased greatly since the three attacks in May. And it's interesting that everyone who's complained about any buzzing/tingling always has it on their left side. What's the connection there?
