[QUOTE="uart, post: 1131967, member: 41696"] Hi Jingyd36. I've also had borderline hypothyroidism (untreated) and very high TSH levels, around 9 to 10, for several years. I know exactly how what yo mean about fatigue, and it's very easy for that fatigue and feelings of poor health to feed into anxiety. Amazingly when I started a LCHF diet (that's low carb and high fat) to control my diabetes it also appeared to help massively with my thyroid issues. I know that it sounds counter intuitive but more fat (and correspondingly less carbs) in my diet have had made a big improvement to my energy levels and for the first time in years my TSH has been normal. :) It might be something worth looking at. If you are interested then I'd recommend starting here: [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] [/QUOTE]
