What Causes Tingling Sensation In Shoulders And Neck After Taking Cytomel?

I have been on Synthroid for years for my underactive thyroid and have now been given a low dose of Cytomel (5mcg). I have been taking the Cytomel for about 2-3 months and am experiencing a tingling achy feeling in my shoulders, neck and arms. I do take both meds at the same time every day before getting up so wonder if this is a side affect or maybe I shouldn t be taking them at the same time?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such tingling and itchy symptoms are not the side effect of the medicines if these being taken together but this could be something else, you can have these medicines all together, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
