Re the fatigue and chemo brain....I think I recovered quicker than most from the fatigue but I really do believe that my memory suffered some. Couple that with being 5 years older and sometimes it ain't pretty!
Give yourself another 6 months or so and see if you feel different re the fatigue. I will say that even though your TSH may fall within the large range of normal it may not be what your body was used to pre Tx. We often discuss this on this site but alas we are not Endocrinologists so we can't back up our theories with proven medical knowledge.
