Is this to do with my thyroid?

Hi, i have been diagnosed with an under active thyroid for over a year now. I went to see the doctor because i was tired all the time and felt depressed. I am on medication (75mg levothyroxine) and have been taking it for over a year now.

I don't know if this is because of my thyroid but i feel sick quite a lot of the time, i have headaches nearly every day, i get really bad hot flashes and i am only young, which then causes me to sweat a lot, i get neck aches, i am still tired and have no energy all the time. I have no sex drive and i sometimes get cold night sweats.

I was just wondering if this is because of my thyroid, i am not ill and these symptoms have been happening for maybe 2/3 years. I thought the tablets would help but they don't, please let me know what you think, thank you.

    Hi Leah_46904

    Do you have any blood test results and the ranges? Without this information you can't tell whether you are on correct amount of Levo. If you don't have the information you can get it from youryour GP reception.
