Get your blood work done and have them check your thyroid. Many of us, me included, suffered thyroid damage and will take thyroid meds for the rest of our life. It usually takes 5 to 6 months to show up though.
That said, I was also very weak for a long time before the thyroid problem was discovered and it's normal when you think about how much energy your body is expending to recover form everything you have been put through.
Either way, watch out for the thyroid.
