You do not have any other choice. Fortunately, levothyroxine replacement therapy likely has positive (beneficial) effects on those noted conditions. Take care!

It is likely that proper thyroid replacement will have positive effects on mood, weight and blood glucose. An endocrinologist might help in further clarifying.
