Jan, you should give the course a try and see how it goes, or wait until summer semester if you want even. You would be surprised what you can do when you get into the routine (and feel the gentle, unyielding hand of the "deadline"). I've been hypo (treated) for about 8 years and I think it might be easier to adjust when you're on the younger side, but that's my opinion not fact. Any downshift in my life has been gradual. I never feel perfectly energized, so I've learned not to expect to feel good. If I do feel great on a certain day, bonus for me. As terrible as that sounds, it helps me. I have been able to work full time and finished my masters degree this past May. It wasn't fun, but I had to because the state where I teach requires that degree, so no degree/ no job in the near future. Glad it's over, and of course I still feel hypo no matter what treatment I'm on. What I wouldn't give to have my thyroid at full capacity!
