Hypothyroidisim: you have profound under active Thyroid . You need the Thyroid replacement Medication . you should start feeling beeter soon . Stay with your Doctor . Have your TSH checked every 6-8 weeks , untill it is in the normal range . I like to keep my patients TSH about 1-2 , & certainly below 5 . Don't worry about side effects . Embrace feeling better
