Since everyone seems to be updating I guess its my turn.
I am nearly back to where I was almost 4 years ago when my thyroid abandoned me. The only thing I haven't gotten back is my Heart Rate. My max sustainable HR was 166 and now it closer to 144 barely on a good day. I am doing 70 to 85 miles rides twice a week where I used to do them three times a week and quicker.
There is a bid difference in my attitude and in general I just feel better about life and people don't seem to piss me off as much or as easy. I will have another blood test in two weeks and will have my psa's tested too.
By the way I found out how the "normal" numbers are derived. The people to test the blood take an average of all the tests for a certain test and determine the high and low for these #s. So, doctors send people with a suspected ailment and from those results comes the parameters. It is not taken from the healthy average person. So if you are on the low side of the scale, it means of its from all the sickly peoples tests. I want to be on the high end myself.
