Hi, from my experience - absolutely a hypo symptom.

Another thing to consider is B12.

B12 is good thanks I have regular injections been really feeling cold lately and fingers are going numb which is a bit weird prob because my levels aren’t great right now.

Ah so you’re well across the B12 angle 👌Have you considered adjusting the frequency?

I think vitamin D deficiency can also cause numbness, I expect you’re aware of that 😊

As you say, you’re still striving to find the elusive sweet spot from a thyroid point of view so it could well be that.

I got that during my undiagnosed/untreated years when I didn’t even know the where my thyroid was.

Googling led me to Reynauds disease, but that was just another red herring in the pre-diagnosed years.

So I guess in my experience as well it was the hashis.
