I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 2.5 years ago which, for various reasons, remained untreated apart from some diet shift. I do nothing strictly but have had a focus on filling my diet with root veg, vegetable fruits, low PUFA meats and dairy. I ate out once to several times a week but cook from scratch otherwise. No supplements.
I've tracked my temperature and pulse off and on and it's pretty consistently 97.6-98.2 in the morning and 98.6 + the rest of the day with pulse ranging 82-86. No exercise beyond living my life as any attempt absolutely tanked temps.
My TSH is 18 and I'm finally going to treat it but how do I judge dosing when my temps are already good?
I got my lab panel cheap so I can't complain much but it didn't have the sex hormones and complete thyroid panels I wanted but it did include some blood sugar and inflammation stuff that I'd appreciate a better understanding of what it says.

I'm 5'4" and 255 lbs. I've spent the last few years improving my metabolism and I'd like to get rid of some weight without damaging it again. Seems like the thyroid is the place to start.
