What Causes Exhaustion And Bruised Muscle?

hi, I m a 55 year old female. I weigh 296 lbs. but I am trying to loose weight. I have lost 14 lbs. in 2 weeks. My question is, I used to be able to push a mower around the yard, do housework and such but about 8 months ago I could hardly climb stairs let alone push a mower, which i enjoyed doing. If I do housework, I can barely move by evening. I feel exhausted but cannot sleep. I am hypothyroid since age 18 and my daughter, who is 26 has a small pituitary tumor. I just want to feel good. I hurt all over like someone has hit me and my muscles are bruised. I will be waiting for your response. Thank you

Hi,Thanks for consulting at HCM.
Your symptoms point towards a primary muscle weakness.It can be due to hypothyroidism or other immune system diseases like myasthenia or polymyositis that are also frequently associated with hypothyroidism.Please optimize your thyroxine therapy in consultation with your doctor.Hopefully it will solve your weight gain and muscle pains.If not then further workup is needed.
Hope it satisfies you.Get well soon.
