I had a total thyroidectomy last November. I have extreme fatigue. It’s absolutely debilitating.

I had a total thyroidectomy 3 weeks ago . I still have bouts of tiredness that may be more intense if I have functioned like I did before my thyroidectomy. I am hoping it's all part of the healing process🙏

No, only with hot flashes during the first two weeks after the surgery, but not fatigue… but I agree with the comment that it can be part of your hormones adjusting process.

Yes in different ways. Once my thyroid hormones normalized I have it on and off with varying intensities. For me I feel it’s something with autoimmune diseases and also with fibromyalgia.

No but I will get random fatigue after RAI and with my numbers in range! It’s weird because it just hits me all at once
