Brief Answer:
Hypothyroidism should be ruled out by doing thyroid profile test.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. The listed symptoms all matches for hypothyroidism. So better to rule out that by doing thyroid profile test. TSH will be decreased in case of hypothyroidism.

If it is hypothyroidism then taking thyroxine supplement will be helpful to get rid off her problems.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

Welcome again.

Thank you for your follow up.

Hypothyroidism is under active thyroid or decrease in thyroid hormone production. Causes are variable. It can be due to iodine deficiency or autoimmune.
Symptoms are feeling of excess cold, fatigue, impaired memory, Painful muscles and joints, thinning of hair, irregular periods etc. Rarely it can affect eyes also. Eye power should be corrected by wearing proper power glasses.

If it is confirmed by test ( T3,T4,TSH which is thyroid profile test) then taking thyroxine hormone supplementation is the remedy. It should be taken for long term and TSH should be monitored. According to level of TSH dose should be adjusted. TSH should be checked every 3 months. Thyroxine is not an expensive medicine.

Let me know if anything not clear.

Thank you for your follow up.

In case of hypothyroidism her symptoms will gradually normalize after taking thyroxine. It will take 3 to 6 months for this.

For eye problem a consultation with an ophthalmologist is well appreciated. Pressure changes in eye should be checked to rule out glaucoma. If there is no such problems then using proper power glasses will help.
