Random Extreme Fatigue After TT?
Hi all. I (26F) had my thyroid removed in early May because of PTC. I was initially on 100mcg of Synthroid, but after a blood test, we changed to 125mcg about a week ago. Since my surgery, I’ve experienced some random extreme fatigue that will hit me out of nowhere. I go silent and get so tired that I must sleep. I wanted to know if this is something others have experienced, and how you “push through” when you have things you need to do and have kids, partners, etc. My partner has been my number one supporter through all of things, and I know these drastic mood shifts have been hard for him (obviously this is also hard for me, but from his standpoint I know things have been v up and down).
I was with friends today, and when I hit the wall of fatigue, I knew I seemed so out of it to them and not interested, but I obviously didn’t mean to; I couldn’t function.
All in all, have you experienced extreme fatigue after your TT? How do you cope with them or “push through”? How do you communicate with the people around you when you feel it coming on? How have you helped guide your families on how to approach it when you experience this kind of exhaustion?
Thanks in advance.
