I can ditto this as well.  My toes were numb but what I had was hot, burning
feet.  Couldn't wear shoes and couldn't sleep with feet under the covers.
That went away with the correct amount of T4 and T3.  Also had a sort of
carpal tunnel thing with left thumb.  That has also gone away.  The joint
stiffness is starting to subside and my hair quit falling out.  I still get
itchy and rashes though.  Mostly inner arms and legs.  I itch at night and
first thing in the morning.  Still can't figure this one out but it seems
nerve related as well.  I had to wean myself off of armour.  It had to much
T3 and not enough T4.  Now I take a combo of both.  The symptoms are slowly
going away, I get better it seems each day.  Occasionally my hands will sweat
and my feet also but it was real bad and constant. I wonder if potassium has
anything to do with itching?  Hmm. Just a thought.  My itching is more a
crawly kinda of skin and not what you call tingly, I guess. :)
