I'm taking Synthyroid fo six months now.  I have started feeling this vibrating or twitching in my left leg but it is not really moving.  Also my left eye twitches when I sneeze. Can this be caused by my homones or should I be talking to my Doc?
Thanks Theresa

The thyroid needs to have additional evaluation by an endocrinologist to determine why there may be a very mild hyperthyroidism (lowish TSH with normal T4/T3) this is unlikely to cause symptoms.

I cannot comment on the other labs - if the WBC remains high, would see a hematologist.
