Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

1. Regarding your thyroid disorder, your thyroxine dose should be optimised to keep you TSH in normal range. If it is normal with 100 mcg thyroxine you can continue with same dose

2. If your peripheral numbness is not subsiding - you should get evaluated for same. Some common associations in hypothyroidism are neuropathy due to carpal tunnel syndrome, vitamin D deficiency etc.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
