Thyroid issues seem to be pretty common around here. The good news is that they're treatable. I was put on Synthroid not long after my RT and now it's just one more little pill I take every morning. I will say that it wasn't until I saw an actual endocrinologist, as against my regular doc who started me on it, that I got to the right dosage. So that might be something to consider.
I think that once you get the thyroid issue squared away you'll see a definite improvement in your energy level. And that of course will make everything seem easier.
Good luck - sending positive thoughts your way!
