Hi trish! I also had a total thyroid removal 3 months ago, and I know quite well how you feel.
After a long hyper term, get used to such radical metabolic changes is, as WE KNOW WELL, quite hard.
It will take time, for sure; but what really anoyes me is the contradiction between the ‘within normal
test results, and the actual hypo symptoms we do suffer.
Well, in my oppinion, if we passed though all this -RAI or surgery- is to get a better life standards, dont we?
so; what Im trying to do if find out why there is such a DIFFERENCE between what the results
numbers show and how we actually deal with. And what can we doo about it.
In this sense, I have difficulties in making my doctor understand that I do really fell
and suffer hypo – sometimes also kind of hyper symptoms… They just seem to trust the
god-dammed result numbers, and try to palliate other symptoms; such hair loss, dizzynes, memory and
mind organization traits etc. isolately; and well, I dont quite agree with it.
I fell that somehow, there must be a way to treat all those strange hypo sympoms as
a whole: find a balance, or something.
Im working on it now, despite their faith in numbers.
Ill let you know if Im able to find out some solution or answer.
Anyway, have a nice Xmas, a good and relaxed time, and dont let all this difficulties
let you down. Well Make it!!
