I am 10 months post treatment (surgery and radiation) and approx. 2 months ago started on Synthroid. I was overwhelmingly tired, cold and just plain miserable energy wise so they did a thyroid function test. After approx. 2 weeks on the medication it was an amazing improvement! I would suggest asking for this test if you haven't had it.
Again, welcome!
