tkrik is correct, IMO.
Thyroid and perhaps a herniated disc in the back.

- chronic fatigue/ feeling of generalized weakness (Thyroid)
- sometimes air hunger/feeling breathless for no reason (Thyroid)
- poor appetite (Thyroid)
- muscle weakness (Thyroid)
- reduction in the sense of touch (I don't know)
- tingling/pins and needles all over the arms, legs, head, and other parts of the body (can be too high Thyroid meds)
- poor short term memory/difficulty remembering (Thyroid)
- cold hands (Thyroid)
- heart rate feels like its sometimes alternating fast with slow (Thyroid meds)
- pulsing sensation in the neck and in the stomach (Thyroid)
- hard to exercise/tolerance to exercise diminishing where as before i was able to exercise easily. (Thyroid)
- mood alternating with good to suddenly feel suicidal (Thyroid med)
- sometimes feeling like i cannot speak (although this has been not very frequent) ( I don't know)
- bowel movements all over the place (Thyroid)


I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and am being treated with armour thyroid.

Am wondering if these symptoms are consistent with MS?
Did you know that you can't take Coenzyme Q10 and many listed herbs while on Thyroid medication? I have a Hashimoto's Thyroid Dx also.

I used a blue color to identify some of my thoughts since I am Thyroid meds too. It is an auto-immune disease. Your body is attacking your Thyroid.

You should be seen by and Endocrinologist to check your Pituitary and Hypothalamus gland also. An Eye specialist and a Orthopedist for your back and numbness. Just my thoughts on your questions.

As for MS? You have to "wait and see" a while longer, or see a MS specialist for the correct tests.
