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.
