Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that so long you are on testosterone shots, you was comfortable,and with full energy. That is natural.
It appears that the hypothyroid is the cause of the weakness,but not the pills. In hypothyroid state, there is a possibility of the loss of libido, etc. as the drugs you are using might be not enough of dose to compensate. If the dose is titrated and fixed the dose, it may be use full for your problem.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
