Hello Cerdiwen!
Do you have thyroid antibodies? It would be great if you post your blood labs.
How old are you? What is your weight, height, body type? What do you eat? How is your lifestyle? Do you take thyroid meds? If yes what dosage? More details about your diagnosis etc.
We need more information ! There can be a simple solution...
Have a nice day.

Yes I've had thyroid antibodies since 2002 and I've been on Levothyroxine since then. The Drs are adjusting my dose. Never before have I had such an intense loss of huge chunks of memory, an inability to form short term memories, increasing cognitive problems, loss of feeling all over my body,difficulty walking. I did suffer from and poor memory always in fact I thought that was behind my Maths disability. I think that Alzheimers is more common amongst thyroid sufferers and I know someone else with a thyroid problem who is growing really vague as well. I had mild memory problems and numbness for years. This seems to be something much much worse. I'd love it to be my thyroid but I don't know.

There is also a link between Downs and Alzheimers and people with Downs have low thyroid

You may want to go over and review the timeline of your cognitive deterioration in relation to the timeline of all prescription meds you are taking.
Namely, it may be that some of the medications they got you on is the real cause of the problems (of course they'll never blame that, it will always be you that's the problem, your genes, your habits,... in their narratives; they're great talkers BTW and can dupe with their "omniscience" nearly everyone). Some people put on statins and blood pressure meds have suffered dramatic cognitive decline (which often prevents them from connecting the dots and fixing the problem at the root).
Few years ago my father in law was put on 40 mg Zocor and within couple months he lost ability to deal with his finances, then he couldn't even drive his car without smashing it or forgetting how to get to where he was going. He also developed terrible muscle pains and the quack who put him Zocor prescribed narcotics to dull the pain. That is quite a typical pattern for the ruthless sickness industry nowadays -- all the damage from one drug is covered up by the next drug in the ever growing chain (each link being another ka-ching for the pharma and their salesmen quacks). At that point, I explained to him what is being done to him and suggested he get off the statin & pain meds cold turkey. I also gave him some of my Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Co-Q10 (ubiquinol). Desperate by that point, he followed suggestion and recovered completely within weeks.
