Has anyone else experienced limb weakness? My left arm seems to have lost it's strength which is very frustrating! I do also get numbness and tingling in my hands which I understand is normal hypothyroidism.

It's also a low B12 problem. So, if I were you, I'd get my B12 checked.
I was losing the use of my right arm a couple of years ago. I got my B12 checked, and it was about 350. Despite the doctor saying that that was 'perfect', I supplemented B12, and my arm got better. Optimal for B12 is 1000.

No worries, just click on my name & look through my posts, latest one is "Ouch! Steroid injection in my shoulder"😊
Have you had ferritin checked too? Muscle weakness and aches can be symptoms of low ferritin. If you get it tested put the results and ranges on here - A level at the bottom of the range is too low for most people to feel well
