My GP told me she felt an "average" of nine months after getting regulated was the time it took folks to feel pretty normal again. That is, at least in part, because it takes the various body parts time to heal from too much thyroid hormone. Sometimes, we expect too much of ourselves, too soon, and that can be discouraging. When I started working out again, I had very little strength in my muscles, and I needed to work up slowly to any semblance of "normal" exercise. So, from that standpoint, it may have taken even a bit longer. Also, we tend to "blame" thyroid issues on anything that feels "off" for a while, forgetting that before we became ill we got tired, cranky, (fill in the blank), too. We forget what true normal — which had ups and downs of its own — felt like.
I’m glad to hear you are feeling better.
