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.

Yes Thyroid.
Also IGF-1 deficiency which could be GH deficiency which could also be causing these problems.
I am getting tingling on the top of my head and down my arms and legs which is most likely poor circulation due to thyroid or igf-1/GH which a deficiency of can cause a loss of myelin.
I am waiting for my new hormonal blood tests they are taking another 2 weeks.
What do you mean you cannot take herbs or supplements if you have hashimoto's, what is your reasoning for this?
Thyroid medications suppress TSH and the immune system attacking your thyroid to some degree.
For example selenium 100-200mcg a day is useful to reduce hashimoto's antibodies.
CQ10 and others are just vitamins/minerals etc everybody needs.
I got my spinal x-ray back:
Conclusion:
- Sigmoid scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine with mild convexity to the right at the thoracic level and mild convexity to the left at the thoracolumbar level.
- Mild anterior wedging of four consecutive thoracic vertebrae, mainly the lower thoracic vertebra, may represent changes of scheuermann's disease.
- Their is also bilateral L5 pars defect resulting in grade 2 anterolisthesis on L5 on S1, with no significant degenerative change seen of the thoracic or lumbar spine.
