Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Your current symptoms could be seen with hypothyroidism (a condition, where there is deficiency of thyroid hormone). This can be diagnosed by a blood test for thyroid hormone levels (if it is not done already in your case).

In addition, you should also check hemoglobin, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels.

Regarding meningioma, the initial size was very small. You may repeat a scan sometime to find out its current size. However, your current symptoms are not due to the meningioma.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.

Best wishes,
