6 months post TT and off work again

[Nimrod78]

WOW - I thought by 6 months post TT I would be all better - boy was I wrong.  I am getting worse and worse LOL, as you all may have read I had a really hard time pre-surgery, then surgery was much like a nightmare - things slowly improved then got worse.  Well now I am so worn out and tired that I have had to take a week off work..... How much longer until they can get my bloomin levels right and why do I get worse as time goes on GRRRRRRRRR! Can you sense my frustration???? Even hubby was worried, usually I have bursts of energy in the mornings, but lately (about a week) I havent been able to get up, Saturday it was 1pm before he could get me out of bed ( I am an early bird) and I layed on the couch all day.  But then again I toss and turn all night.....  Next review is for bloods first week August. . . . I feel like a broken record and I am sorry, I fear losing my job, driving hubby and son insane - mind you I have the depression under control with meds, but they deserve a healthy wife and mum too (they dont complain TRUST me, they take over when the going gets tough) I am very lucky in many ways, but seriously I need to get better, some nights I wonder if I am heading towards a slow death (possibly more insane than I realise) What I would do to be 100%

I go in for blood test Wednesday and have an appointment with my endo on Friday.  I'm 7 months post TT and still don't feel any where near my old self.  Having menopause thrown on top of TT and RAI might have something to do with that.  Can't wait to see what my TSH is this week.

I can relate...I too thought I was doing good until the last month...the tiredness is happening again...my TSH has gone up to the highest it has ever been and I'm 5 months post op!  I guess this is what they all mean when they say it takes a long time to adjust meds!  I just can't figure how this can happen when there is no thyroid to interfere with things!

I am about 3 weeks post TT and I know I have a long road ahead of me.  It's hard living with the illness much less the fear of losing financially, and feeling guilty on top of that!

Let me know how it goes...I am personally interested in your progress!
