Hello,
Feeling cold, gaining weight, body pains and feeling lethargic may be due to a problem with the thyroid gland function. It is important that you have the TSH and FT4 checked to make sure if your thyroid is working properly or not.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
