Brief Answer:
Encephalopathy to consider. Steroids also.

Detailed Answer:

Hello again and thanks for your questions here.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since you refer to short memory issues and brain fog, encephalopathy caused by Hashimoto's may seem to be causing your symptoms.

In such case, starting again treatment with steroid drugs should be considered.

Please discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to discuss with me if you have further questions or clarifications.

Take care.
