Bizarre symptoms...anyone?

Hi everyone.  I was wondering if anyone else out there with a low thyroid have either of these weird things going on:
1- a "tingling"  feeling of the extremities.  
or 2- blue veins all over your arms and legs when cold?  
My doctor tested me for connective tissue disease, lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and other things (don't remember) which came back normal, so I am assuming my thyroid is causing this.  The blue map of veins on my arms and legs looks sickly.
Since everything came back normal, I am blaming my thyroid.
Does anyone else suffer from these or any other "strange" things thought to be caused by your thyroid?

I would also have them check your B12 and folate levels as deficiency can cause tingling sensations in hands, feet, tongue, lips, etc. Any of your anemias and calcium def. can cause similar symptoms.

Did they ck calcium levels?  That can produce the tingling in extremities along with a around the lips.

Not sure on the veins ?  Others may have an idea,
