Hello doctor,
I have chronic paresthesia. My full body feels like dead in sleep. When I wake up and reposition myself, it will take time for the blood to start flowing from my leg to upper body. I can feel it flowing and entering my kidneys, liver. I had this issue for a long time but it was not this severe earlier. From the last few months, it is getting worse.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I read carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a sleep disorder or thyroid gland dysfunction. A connective tissue disorder (arthritis) cannot be excluded either. For this reason, I recommend performing a polysomnogram and some blood lab tests: Rheumatoid factor. PCT, sedimentation rate. Vitamin D levels. Thyroid hormone levels. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me again. For more information consult a neurologist online.

Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.Your vitamin B12 and thyroid hormone levels are normal. Vitamin D levels are below the normal ranges. For this reason, I would recommend taking vitamin D supplements.
