> The thyroid check is in work but results coming in january. Is nervus ulnaris/carpal-tunnel-syndrome a possible sign of hypothyroid-probs ?
I guess so, I didn't know ... had to look it up
"Other central nervous system manifestations of hypothyroidism include peripheral neuropathy, with paresthesias and entrapment neuropathies (e.g., carpal or tarsal tunnel syndromes). In more advanced disease, patients may have gait difficulties, signs unlikely to suggest hypothyroidism in the elderly. Special sense disorders include blurred vision, diplopia, tinnitus, hearing loss, and anosmia."

Get that TSH level result from you doctor, it should only take a day or two.
You will be better soon.
