I've got an underactive thyroid, my Mum had it as well. I've got fibro and a few other ailments, also had Covid a few weeks back, so I live in brain fog, exhaustion and the vibe of feeling at least a zillion years old 
sorry what was I saying 
(and some days, it's really just like that).
It helps to make sure firstly, that your dosage of thyroxine is correct. My Mum stayed the same dose, no issue, I've been down to 25mcg and up to over 200mcg. Mine changes so much, I have bloods taken every 3 months to check.
Also, some parts of the UK are more supportive, but you can get different types of thyroxine and there is also another part (can't remember this late but it's something about T3 and T4?) but they are two different things and measures in the blood checks. There is a 2nd type of medication for this, but a lot of health areas won't fund the other type. It's worth asking for a visit to the Endocrine team at your local hospital to go over your thyroid issue and ask for any recommendations/support from them.
Some diet things can help and hinder thyroid issues, so have a read up on those too.
Here's a little list.....
