PARESTHESIA (Tingling and prickling)
Hello Sir/Madam
I am suffering from severe tingling and prickling in both lower legs and feet and having sleepless nights (PARESTHESIA). I also have Diabetes and taking medicines for this (Metformin 1000mg + Sitagliptin 50 mg in morning and Metformin 500 mg SR in night.). I am also having Hyperthyrodism and taking Thyroxine 75 mcg daily. Also having Blood pressure and taking Telmisartan 80 mg daily. After taking these medicines, when tested, all diseases as mentioned above are under control. (Also taking methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily).
But for last one month, I am suffering from PARESTHESIA.
Please advise me what to do ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello..
Ma'am I understand the symptoms..First thing I want to know if your blood sugar levels are under control..Control means HBA 1c should be below 7 ...As uncontrolled sugar will lead to.complexes getting deposited in the nerves causing symptoms....So it's neuropathy...I would suggest you to meet a physician... You may require pregablin too
