When my feet were bad so were my hands.
At one point I could not lift a pot off the stove, or sign my name. I had a steroid shot in my right hand during pregnancy when I was at my worst.
When my thyroid was treated, both improved tremendously.
(but not 100%)
My hands only bother me now if I overdo some task.
The tips of two toes on each foot remain numb.
Doctors won't increase my medication for that...they go by
blood tests. Too much thyroid causes osteoporosis...so they are conservative about that.
My PN is not progressive that I can tell. I get flares and quiet times. I don't have autoimmune markers either.
