Glad that showed up in your bloodwork and that you're getting treated for it. Just an FYI that by some standards, anything over 3 is hypo. The American College of Endocrinologists established a range of .3 to 3 a few years ago, but some labs and docs have been slow to adopt that. I have Graves Disease and have consistently been told that a TSH of 1 is where a lot of people feel their best, and that's true from my own experience. I hope you start to feel better with some medication.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
