Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
from your description, it seems to be a sever hypothyroid picture.
what and when was your last TSH level?
pl. see your treating doc for check up if the TSH was still high. I think you might need dosage adjustment.
your doc will be the best judge.
take care and get checked up.
pl. keep me posted on what happens. I hope to have satisfied you.
