It definitely takes time (lots of time) for the body to heal from the onslaught of hyperthyroidism caused by Graves’ Disease. It has been affecting literally every cell in the body for as long as you’ve been hyperthyroid, and it affects certain areas in specific ways (muscle loss in the large muscle groups, for instance), but other areas in rather random ways that are very individual to each Graves’ patient. So you are in for a period of recovery, but try to be grateful you have reached a state of recovery, and look each day for small things that are better today than they were yesterday. It’ll help carry you through. In the meantime, please be very good to yourself ~ don’t do the things that just serve to suck the energy out of you, or at least limit those things, so you can maintain some level of stamina.
I’m glad you found us! Believe it or not, you are very early on in the process, so you would do well to get some good resource material and get a really good handle on what’s been going on in your body, and what steps you need to take going forward.
