Hello madam

welcome to health care magic. I do understand your multiple problems and your concern regarding your thyroid status.

I would suggest you to get a thyroid blood testing and then to titrate your dose as per the blood results. If you thyroid reports are biochemically normal, then your problems may not b related to your thyroid and a physician would help you better.

regards
