Hello,
my husband is now hypothyroid from immunotherapy treatment. He's had 4 infusions and was diagnosed just before the 4th. He's been feeling exhausted (but still working because he's stubborn and determined
). GP couldn't understand how he was still standing let alone working. He's now on 1 1/2 x 25mcg levothyroxine a day.
He's been feeling really cold and a bit blue at times around the gills. He's resting when he can and it's been good to have some time off over Xmas for this. He usually runs several times a week and plays indoor football.
Other symptoms: restless and itch feet and he got an injury at football last week that kept bleeding for 2 1/2 days before it started to dry up. We'll be mentioning this to the oncologist next week in case of low platelet levels.
He's had a tendency to insomnia for a couple of decades but it's got worse and he's now only getting 3 - 5 hours broken sleep a night.
I thought with HYPOthyroid he would sleep MORE not less.
Does anyone else have any experience of this/tips/thoughts?
Hi Squeak
I'm sorry to read about the side effects your husband is suffering with after having immunotherapy. Has he notified the hospital team that administers his immunotherapy?
I don't have any personal experience but have done a search in the group and saw that SHELLY30 posted about being hypothyroid 6 months ago. Having tagged them into my reply to you, hopefully they'll pop on and share their experiences.
