Hi Everyone, back in March I had my left thyroid gland removed due large growth which turned out to be papillary thyroid cancer, on results it was decided that they needed to complete the removal of my whole thyroid.
This was completed 2 weeks ago now and I’m taking my daily levythyroxine and calcium tablets. I’m feeling very lethargic and struggling to carry out basic day to day tasks. I don’t expect to feel perfect right now but I find resting all day makes me feel terrible but getting up and being a little active also makes me feel equally terrible.
has anybody on here had similar issues? Anything that helps?
I am booked in at ENT next week so will go through with them, just wanted to know if how I’m feeling is standard post op.
thanks for reading
