someone wrote about this once before I never knew it could effect

thyroid people only because I know it effects diabetics---shelia

needs to look into this since she sits on the line of diabetes---

this is another side effect of thyroid disease.

Hi Tina & Cher (or do you go by Sherry?),

thanks so much for your responses; I really appreciate it.

No, this is not normal for me; it's never happened before like this. Always

before it was when I had my leg crossed or after about 10 min. of exercise (not

walking).

This is the first time it happened when I was sitting in an upright position. I

was getting up and trying to walk it out. It was so numb there was no way I

could drive, and it was scaring me.

anyway, after about 10-15 minutes, it finally stopped, and I haven't had any

further problems the rest of the day.

I also posted in my Hashi group, and one lady suggested it might also be carpal

tunnel in my feet. I remember my mom telling me about a friend who was diagnosed

with it in her feet.

I know it can be related to diabetes, and I think thyroid. My rheumie is testing

me for several things. I told her about the numbness in my hands and feet. She

did diagnose me with carpal tunnel, but I just assumed she meant in my wrists.

Maybe not? She is sending me for an EMG test next week.

I've been told that even though my glucose level was high (100) that it was

nothing to worry about. I was told the " normal " ranges for glucose were just

changed, and that's why 100 is high. So if everyone's telling me i'm okay, then

I'm confused. does high not mean high? is it like some kind of early warning

system? If I'm okay, then why did the nurse practitioner at my endo's office

suggest that I might want to go on glucophage (something I think is a bit

premature).

I guess I'll find this stuff out.

anyway, thanks again guys for your responses. I got so scared, but i'm okay now.

well, I've gotta hit the sack...school in the morning. i'm only gonna get 4

hours sleep tonight. Ugh!

talk to ya'all for just a bit in the morning while I'm having my coffee. I know

it's bad for me, but....

Tina, I just wanted to say re: that article on SSRI's...I know that just because

we read something on the web doesn't make it so. I appreciate you posting so

much information . I'm like you...i figure if I see the same thing over and

over, then it's probably true. then just gotta check a reliable source to see if

it checks out.

anyway, thanks again! hugs, sheila

It's Sherry - I need to edit my profile.

How's it going today, feeling better I hope. I can relate to how

scarey that can be. I don't have this issue, but have woken up

several times at night with a completely dead arm. I mean completely

dead, I couldn't move or feel it at all. Had no sensation at all,

even when touching it. Absolutely terrifying, but it did pass with

forced movement. So far hasn't reoccurred again, and I hope it won't.

Is that what happened to your foot?

Hi Sherry, Yikes...sounds really scary to wake up with a dead arm! I have had

this happen before with my foot...can't remember when though, and it's not

often.

my foot wasn't completely dead, but it was numb enough that i was afraid to

drive.

my feet have been fine since. i didn't exercise yesterday or today though...too

sick.

thanks, sheila
