There's hypothyroid (underactive) and hyperthyroid (overactive) If he is experiencing fatigue it is probably hypothyroidism. All your husband will need is a morning blood test. Most doctors only do TSH, I'd suggest a TSH, Free T4, Free T3, and an antibody test. The TSH sometimes doesn't catch things because TSH changes throughout the day.

If your husband is hypothyroid, he will be put on a thyroid medication that he will take daily. The dosage is adjusted by blood work until it is stable. Most feel best with a morning TSH around 1.0 if on T4. For those on T4 & T3, they feel best with a mid-range Free T4, and a high in range Free T3.

First, let him get the test making sure its a morning test only. Then if he has a thyroid problem visit the below site

If he does have an overactive or underactive thyroid he will have to take medication for the rest of his life and it should not affect him at all. My mum has this condition and it doesn't get in the way of what she does. She just has regular check ups and blood tests.
