I am glad you got our diagnosis because that is the first step to feeling better.
Thyroid stuff is hard because of how much it impacts, but fortunately most thyroid things can be treated and you can live with it. May sounds a little nuts, but I am thankful I had thyroid cancer and not something else. Even if my treatment did not goes as it should since I did not uptake the radioactive iodine, I have been living a good life with it for the last 19 years. Sure there are struggles, weight being one, but we all have our struggles, right?
I hope your therapy helps you feel better soon. I think I said it before, but chronic illness are not fun, but with the right treatment they are totally doable.
