Thyroid and Low sex drive?

im 24 years old and have found out 4 months ago that i have an underactive thyroid. My tsh level was around 8 thats high. Some of the symptoms i have are fatigue, no sex drive, no morning erections or anything like that. I would really like to know what is going on and if i get my tsh level back to normal will my sex drive come back?

Sex drive usually improves with correcting hypothyridism.
