Feeling symptoms of hypothyroidism and changing to focus on lifestyle management

I was experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism with persistent fatigue.
I personally observed changes in my hypothyroidism symptoms through examination and treatment.
Currently, I am maintaining my hypothyroidism symptoms relatively stable by focusing on lifestyle management.

At first I thought it was just a simple decline in condition.
Even though I got enough sleep, I had a hard time waking up in the morning and felt heavy from the start of the day.
In the afternoon, my concentration dropped sharply and I quickly became tired even from minor tasks.
As this situation continued to repeat itself, daily life itself began to feel increasingly burdensome.

Weight changes and sensitivity to cold were also different than before.
My food intake and activity level did not change much, but my weight gradually increased.
Even before summer ended, I started feeling unusually cold and my hands and feet became cold more often.
Looking back now, this was the time when the symptoms of hypothyroidism really began to appear.

I felt something was wrong, so I went to the hospital and had a blood test done.
As I was receiving explanations of the test results, the changes I had experienced began to connect one by one.
Doctors say that symptoms of hypothyroidism often develop gradually, so it may be difficult to recognize them.
The moment I heard that, I nodded as I remembered my physical condition over the past few months.

After starting medication, I started paying attention to even the smallest changes in my body.
After a few weeks, the dull fatigue that had been following me all day began to lessen.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, my body felt lighter than before and my daily rhythm had stabilized.
Through this process, I personally experienced that the symptoms of hypothyroidism were gradually controlled.

Along with treatment, I also changed my lifestyle.
I tried to keep my sleep schedule consistent and intentionally cut down on excessive schedules.
I also developed the habit of moderating my caffeine intake and observing my body's reactions.
These changes have clearly helped manage my hypothyroidism symptoms.

I am still undergoing regular checkups to check my condition.
Even if my condition is slightly unstable, the first thing that comes to mind is the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
I no longer take my body's signals lightly like I used to, and I have developed standards for managing myself.
