Undiagnosed and confused

I would really appreciate some insight/advice as I feel like I have been in a dead end for quite some time. had Covid in March 2022 and since then have been having thyroid issues (along with other issues).

My latest blood tests show:

TSH: 7.07 munit/L

T4: 14.1 pmol/L

T3: 5.0 pmol/L

TSH receptor antibodies: 3.98 unit/

I have been told by different doctors that this could be subacute thyroiditis, could be Hashimoto's or was even told that the blood results could be an error!

I think I might have nerve damage, as I went through a period of extreme muscle weakness and although I managed to recover from this I still get very unusual spasms all over my body.

I was on a small dose of Levo for about 4 months, but could not tolerate it at all and it made all my symptoms worse. The more I took the worse I felt. So eventually I had to make the hard decision to stop taking it, but the TSH is getting higher and higher and I don't know what to do.
