Hello dear user!
Thank you for using healthcaremagic to share your concerns!
I have read carefully you query.

All the symptoms you mentioned above in you query are due to hypothyroidism. Generally fatigue, constipation, cold hypersensitivity, dry skin etc are the common symptoms of lack of the thyroid hormone.
Sometimes it may affect even your sexual life and your humor causing decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, impotence, and depression.

I think the dose you are taking to cure that condition may be not sufficient.
You may need to raise the dose of the medicament. Leave an appointment with the doctor who has prescribed you that, or better with the endocrinologist to adjust the dose.
Taking the right dose will help you feel better and remove all these symptoms that affect your everyday life.

I hope you will be fine soon.
Take care and please kindly write a review about this experience with me.
Sincerely,
DR ERIOL.
