Confused about my results

Hi everyone!

I am 31F, 140 lbs and for years, have always had a TSH around 4 or 5. I felt bad for years but thought it was other causes. This year, I tested and my TSH was 7, low/normal FT3 and FT4, so i started 50 mg levothyroxine 2 months ago.

My most recent lab results now have a TSH of 0.22 and a FT3 and FT4 well into the normal range but not at the highest end. My TPO was 22 and the range is that <34 is normal.

I have no side effects from the medication and I am not bedridden anymore, like I was sometimes before. I can make it through most days without a 2 hour nap.

What has your experience been like? Is it possible my TSH will go back to where it should be, around 1 or so? Why is my pituitary gland reacting like that to normal amounts of FT3 and 4 and a modest dose of levo?
