Good morning. I have a doctor who consistently says paresthesiae and spells it this way when making corrections. The word paresthesia is in Stedman's but not paresthesiae. However, I do see it spelled this way on certain web sites, but most of the dictionaries I look at use paresthesias for the plural form. Can someone help me settle this one way or the other? I have always used paresthesias as the plural form but maybe I have been wrong, especially since the doctor so consistently says paresthesaie. Thanks for the help.
