Hi,
I feel for you, particularly as I'm also stuck in a difficult situation with some similar symptoms and depression. I actually do have hypothyroidism but can't say the treatment ever made me feel any better. Have you had standard blood work done as well as tests for e.g. coeliac disease and B/D vitamins? Have you checked glucose levels during these episodes?
I don't know if you're aware but heat can trigger symptoms of MS (and presumably other myelin disorders) and hot baths even used to be used as a diagnostic tool. It's something I'm concerned about as I often have balance problems when walking, although it's hard to tell if it's true ataxia or some problem with muscle strength / coordination - I also get slight "foot drop" at these times.
The general slowing and fatigue I can certainly relate to - it's hard when doctors won't take symptoms seriously and put it down to depression, especially when you really feel something else is going on, although depression / anxiety do tend to make such symptoms more unbearable.
