Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Hypothyroidism treatment is a replacement therapy with the hormone normally produced by the Thyroid gland and in the correct dose, there is unlikely any side effects.
The symptoms you have are due to either decreased blood supply or neuropathy
See a doctor and get a diagnosis and then we can decide which treatment is best for you.
Take care
