I've had a clinically low thyroid function during the course of my ME, but my severe brain fog was definitely a symptom of my ME, without any doubt.
But a low thyroid function definitely has very similar symptoms to ME - fatigue, weakness, sluggishness, and serious cognitive issues, probably including brain fog for many people.
But strangely enough, I got my imagination back for a while when I had a low thyroid, which might have been because the low metabolism caused by a low thyroid was helping to ease the ME symptoms. But there were cognitive issues, and there may well be brain fog associated with hypo-thyroidism for most people.
Yes, I had the same thing when my thyroid went high. 'Sand paper' describes it well! It's horrible.
I took small doses of cod liver oil, some B12 and clonazepam to help ease it, which I thought all helped a bit.
