Default Symptoms of numbness~ any ideas?

Hi everyone~

My late twenty something niece has been experiencing numbness of her lower legs, below the knee, both legs. I think it is just numbness to the touch, ex, when shaving legs she doesn't feel the touch of the razor. This has been ongoing for just a week. My sister mentioned this to me, I think, because she knows I travel these circles a bit.

Her only health history that I know of is an enlarged thyroid, which has been scanned, and is not being treated because her thyroid blood tests are normal. [Strong family history of thyroid disease... my dad, myself and all sibs, and 80% of my dad's extended family. We don't think they did the antibody tests... though]

SO...any thoughts? Does this sound like it could be neuropathy symptoms, or ?????? Time for a re-evaluation of thyroid? Anything else?
