Took out the 2nd side of my thyroid and right after surgery, I went on Cytomel and felt better and better each day. Still I would hit the wall about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and need a nap to continue the day. When I asked my doctor about that, she told me that I was only being given 1/2 a dose of daily thyroid before the test. Then I was told about the RAI test and put on the diet... They also stopped my Cytomel. After almost a week, I am feeling the exhaustion you describe. I'm good in the mornings, although stiff, achy and puffy, but by 2 or so in the afternoon I hit the wall. Guess it's got to get worse before it gets better. But, after feeling so good with the thyroid hormone, I really look forward to feeling "normal" when I am on it again.

We women always manage to pull of miracles. Just be sure to make sure you take care of you, and rest when you need to. :) You’ll make it work. We women always manage to pull of miracles.

Your all natural Italian blood pushes your past your body's limits too. So tough! Don't feel guilty about taking your time to rest, just do it it's probably the only thing you can do besides your doctor visits and follow ups. And Chad, iron your own shirts, c'mon!! ;) That really is awful, I get tired sometimes but not to the point of exhaustion. Your all natural Italian blood pushes your past your body’s limits too.

While my thyroid disease is in remission (spontaneous they say) I will never forget (despite my bad memory of the time) how rotten I felt before the symptoms were controlled. Iknow we've never met up but I am alwys happy to talk if you need to vent. Feel free to email me! I am sorry to hear you feel crappy as this unpleasant journey continues.
