I understand what you are explaining. Fatigue is something I have almost daily. I also dont sleep very well most nights. My throid was ok just like yours. But, my bloodwoork numbers everything was just a little low. That in itself was enough for me to feel crappy. A couple other things that have an effect on how you feel is if you have lost alot of weight and yoru blood pressure. Mine is usually pretty low now, averages about 94/64.
My doc explain that it takes your body a long long time to recover from first having cancer then the treatments. The after effects can last for several years. Are you taking any vitamins? I take a multi vitamin with iron which has helped me alittle.
Hope you feel better soon.
