I know there are references to this throughout the forum but I wondered if anyone could give me some guidelines. I'm about 6 weeks short of a year since RT finished. While I recovered my energy quickly after treatment, I have suffered some puzzling bouts of fatigue recently. Driving home from a day in town I'll feel my eyes wanting to close. When I get home after an outing I just want to go to bed even if it's the middle of the day. I've also put a bit of weight on recently after staying pretty stable since rads. I'd love this to be thyroid related because then I would have a quick fix!

I was told that thyroid malfunction usually starts a couple of years down the track but I guess there would be a big variation.

Ironically (apart from some dental decay) my mouth feels more comfortable than it has for over a year.

When do your doctors recommend a thyroid check? How often do you get it checked? I guess it could also be anaemia. I'm not exactly eating a normal diet.
