Suggest Treatment For Thyroid, Headache, Tiredness And Lightheadedness

I have had issues with thyroid...also more headaches...hand twitching on occasion. I had some slurred speech back in November but have had a MRI....neck and head cat scan. All came back fine except for a special bloodtest that told the doctor that I have an antibody attacking my thyroid. I have been referred to an endocrinologist but cant get in till june 28th. I have noticed more tiredness...lightheadedness to the point of having to sit down and put my head down. In the morning, its worse. I sometimes feel my head is too heavy to hold up and neck is sore? I am really tired of feeling crappy. Can all these be caused by an issue with my thyroid?
