P.S. Sorry, I have to say this. I have diagnosed myself so many times, 2 1/2 years ago I bought progesterone cream. I just knew I had low progesterone and thought I had a problem with low thyroid. I didn't use the progesterone, but a few months later went to a gyne specialist and was told (without testing) that I had low estrogen. And I was prescribed birth control and estrogen cream. (I said I wanted to get pregnant and they gave me birth control at 35 years old). My condition got somewhat better, and my face tingling and foot sole burning went away. 1/2 year after getting off the birth control, the tingling started again. The recurrent infections started again. EVerything got worse. I tried to get into an endocrinologist and was told to go to a gyne! I finally broke down and went to the hormone doc, who I now see, and got my hormones tested finally. I was low in progesterone and thyroid (T3). Ask a gynecologist about T3 and most times you'll get SILENCE. Your TSH is in range, your thyroid is fine.

Ahh, I feel better now that I've ranted a little bit.

I hope the vit B starts helping you! My hormone doc just prescribed me vit B injections but I may just start on the methylcobalamine. Sounds like a good idea (and the nutritionist at my whole foods store has told me to try it a couple dozen times).

Thank you mrsD for all your advice and information!
