have a tsh that is in the 17 range? Yes I know up to 5 is normal. I found out that my tsh is at 17.5! No wonder I am tired all the time and plan my life around my childrens naps so I can nap daily too!

My TSH wasn't that high but it was around 8 when they diag. me with hypothyroidism and put me on meds. I believe that they also lowered the normal range to be somewhere around 3 because many people were feeling symptoms at 5 and doctors weren't treating them b/c they said it was within normal range.
Are you on meds? I hope you are or will be soon to help you get some of your energy back. I know how yucky I felt at an 8, I can't imagine how I would feel if I was double that, like you are. I give you credit for even being able to get out of bed!!!
Best of luck to you! Keep us posted on how you are doing!
