I had been hyperthroid, then about 5 years ago; went into hypothroid. No one every mentioned; including my endocrinologist, the neuropathy was due to the throid. But, just thought I would mention....about 6 - 7 months ago; started taking among a few other supplements, methycobalamin B12. At first, thought things had improved a bit; but now everything is about the same with very little, if any, change.

Hi Gerry,

Can I please you ask did you get neuropathy from the 5 years you were in hyperthyroid or after when you went Hypo?

Also did you have Graves?

Thank you,
Aussie

I had spine fusion about 5 1/2 years ago. The neuropathy started shortly aftr the fusion, pain meds and additional surgeries. I became hyporthroid before all this happened.

Yes, I did have Graves. I was given a routine blood test and without my knowing, the doctor ordered throid testing. I had no idea I had throid disease. This was about 15 years ago, I remained hyperthroid (Graves) for several years. Went into remission for a few years. My endoctrinologist said it was unusual to go into remission; but I did.

Then about 6 or 7 years ago; started with hypothroid. Since I had throid disease my endocriologist had throid blood work done every 6 months; even when I was in remission. That is why, when I became hypothroid, I was aware of it. Started taking synthroid. I still go for blood work every 6 months in case the need arises for change in prescription.
