can hypothyroidism go away - #26541

Anya

I am really worried about my health right now. A few months ago, I started feeling super sluggish, like my energy just drained away overnight. I decided to go see a doc, and after running some tests, they said I have hypothyroidism. They put me on medication, and I’m trying to follow all the lifestyle changes they suggested. I mean, I’m doing the best I can with the diet and stuff, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder, can hypothyroidism go away? Like, is it possible to just stop taking the meds one day? I see people saying it can improve with lifestyle, but is that just fluff or is there real hope? There are days I feel like I'm kinda getting better, but then other times, the fatigue hits me like a brick wall, and I feel stuck in this endless loop. I guess what I'm really asking is, if I work hard, could I possibly see a time when I'd no longer need to deal with this? Like, can hypothyroidism go away for good? Or is it more like a life sentence? Also, anyone else have their TSH levels fluctuate a lot? Just trying to figure out what I should be doing here. Thanks for any insights!
