I bet you'll feel better soon. Since I started treatment in August of 2011, I've been both mildly hypo (between 3-4 TSH) and mildly hyper. Now my TSH is pretty close to 1, at least according to my last bloodwork, and I feel as "normal" as I've felt in a long time. I felt like poo when I was mildly hypo. Not at death's door of course, but I definitely felt off. I had this undercurrent of melancholy that was impossible to shake, and I wanted to sleep all the time. I still managed to exercise, but it was a struggle. Now I'm back to working out six times a week.
I hope the ultrasound doesn't reveal anything or at least anything that can't be easily remedied.
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.
