I have not been feeling well at all....lately and realized that my thryoid may be off again. Went to the Dr. and during the exam, when she was checking my reflexes, I had none. They didn't respond at all. So I am wondering about the other complications that having the lack of reflexes has on a person. I got my blood work back today and it confirmed that I needed to increase my medication. Still wondering about the fact that it can have this effect on a person. Does it mean that it is effecting me neuroligically?

Sometimes it can effect you neurologically. When it does, it usually means there is an autoimmune disease playing on it.

Moderators this is from my personal experience, not medical training. With my recent diagnoses of thyroid issues, it helped my oncologist (yes a cancer doctor) figure out which autoimmune disease I have that caused my rare inflammation (Necrotizing Grammultous Inflammation) and my tumor.
