Hi,

The symptoms you have can happen due to impaired thyroid function or due to anxiety/depression. It is important to check your TSH and FT4 level to make sure the dose of the drug you take for the thyroid is the right one you need now.

Sometimes the dose needed might change with time and cause symptoms if the dose is not adjusted.You will need to have a screen for depression and anxiety and have proper treatment if these are diagnosed.

For the pain the neck and head some physiotherapy might be helpful to relax the muscles and make them less painful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
