Anyone on here have Hashi's and MS?

I'm doing a lot of research into my eye twitching issue cause its not being caused by low thyroid levels. I am seeing MS come up a lot. And I know since I have Hasi's I could get another auto-immune disease like Lopus or MS.
Does anyone have Hypo thyroid, Hashi's and MS?
How do you get tested for MS?

I know I may just be scarring myself but I want to figure out what is causing the eye twitching cause its so severe that I can't drive or be outside with the sunlight. I will be in the middle of talking and my eyes will start twitching and I will stop talking and its seems like a seizure cause it paralizes my whole face.

My mom told me to just go to the ER and see if they will help me since my dr is not helping. I am on medicaid so there is no co-pay for the ER. I may do this, this weekend.

Just want the twitching to stop :(

Hi i have hashi with the hypo thyriod and to make a very long story short dx 7 yrs ago and had several neuro issues eye twitching then vertigo then lose of balance and tremors weakness in legs ended up in hospital had mri for ms neg.
   Drs treated me with steroids b 12 pysical therapy speach therapy you name it. after about 5 months better over the last 7 years ive had vertigo and some legs weakness nothing major, Then 1 month ago bad vertigo then leg weakness went to dr wants to check me for ms again right now I have tremors pins and needles in legs and toes are completely numb, waiting for mri and lumbar.......after all that dr just told me that he feels that my thyriod being out of whack again (just up my dose to 125) caused this to resurface and that he feels my hashi has caused a dormant neruo disorder to show its face again.Not trying to scare you just saying that if theres something in there autoimmune disease can bring it forward,


take care and talk to your dr.

Its severe twitching of my eye muscles. Constant blinking and my eyeball moves to the outside corner of my eye socket and the twitching goes on for 5-10 seconds and happens seconds apart. I can't drive cause I can't focus. My eyes hurt and they are red/bloodshot.
