A member asked:
Suspected to have hashimoto's encephalopathy. right side of my head&body is weaker and number than the left, like drawn with a ruler. does it fit he?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare disease: I have only read the condition in textbook. Not sure why you are suspecting HE? First one should have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The right sided weakness and numbness can be due to a whole lot of more common diseases and conditions, including some that can be reversed if treated in time. You need to go see a doctor urgently to make the proper diagnosis.

Why do I sometimes get sharp pains on the left side of my head? I've had this issue for years. I get tension headaches frequently. I don't always have the pain while having a headache. Sometimes I'll get the pain with no headache. I have Hashimoto's?
History of Hashimoto's. Lymph nodes swelling after eating certain foods on left side of neck under jaw. Inflamed salivary gland under tongue on left side as well. Just tested with high tsh levels than normal and my doctor gave higher dose of meds?
So I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and I use to take my Synthroid but stopped once I had my gastric sleeve. Because my levels went back to normal should I go head and start back up on my meds and still have my labs for Tsh drawn regularly?
