Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you are taking gilenya for your neurological disorder but the thyroid doesn’t seem to be the side effect of this drug.
You need to consult your endocrinologist for this issue and may need to take thyroid med otherwise symptoms may worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
