Anyways, after a proper diagnosis, I now manage the hypothyroidism with diet and a thyroid and iodine supplement. I also have to take supplements to support my adrenal glad. If I don't, I suffer from anxiety attacks. All the supplements I'm on are prescribed by my doctor.

Same here! Post-childbirth onset Hashimito's disease. I just thought I was "supposed" to be tired all the time because I had a kid and was working full time. Once the thyroid meds kicked in, it was a different world. Sure I still get tired, but it will be causally related to specific events as opposed to a chronic condition.
