has anyone had severe neurological symptoms from thyroid issues?

Hi Everyone, initially I had low b12 (and am a poster on PA) and have been injecting for about 3 months but my thyroid has also been playing some games with me, so I am not sure how crucial the thyroid is to the neurological side of things as the b12

I've been hypo since I was 11, taking Levo since and when I started entering menopause taking HRT my thyroid swung hyper (my TSH went to a low of .194 uIu/ml range .270-4.2), and along came major heart palpitations, trembling, anxiety etc. but since my levo dose has been reduced much of that has gone but worsening neurological symptoms

what has me questioning are recent labs (sorry two different laboratories I know that also confuses things, and the different ranges represent France vs. Monaco)

august 28th free T4 13.2 pmol/L (11.5-22.7) TSH 2.935 (.550 to 4.79)

october 10th free T4 12.3 pmol/L (9.3-17) TSH 1.85 (.27-4.7) same units

Thank you all in advance

Have you got results for vitamin D and ferritin? Your last thyroid bloods are not too bad so wondering if there's another reason?

Have you got thyroid antibodies?

Thanks for the fast response Nanaedake

august 28 ferritin was 22 ng.ml (10-291)

would the antibodies be "anti-tshr (trak) ? less than 10.0 Iu/ml or normal

Normally it would be anti TPO antibodies or thyroglobulin antibodies. TPO short for Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies.

Ferritin is much too low and could be the cause of your symptoms. What have you been prescribed for it?
