Symptoms include:

  • Burning sensations (or pain) in the hands and feet
  • Headaches
  • Vertigo
  • Tinnitus (a ringing sound in the ears)
  • Small raised dark red spots on your body (called Angiokeratomas)
  • Fever
  • Sweating too little (a condition called hypohidrosis)
  • Intolerance to heat
  • Abdominal Pain
  • Vomiting & Diarrhoea
  • Impaired Hearing
  • Alterations in the eye eventually leading to clouding that can occur in the cornea (known as ‘Opacity of the Cornea’)
