Our bodies are uniquely different like snowflakes and I agree and have posted before that I don't believe doctors truly understand how to correct thyroid problems. That said I was pretty weak for at least a year but I found that when I resumed my biking that I really had just as much energy, perhaps more desire, than I did pre Tx. I am 2 1/2 yrs post now and I can easily work a 15 hr day and when I go home yes I'm tired but heck I'm 61 now so maybe that's just normal for me. Bottom line, try aerobic exercising and get those juices flowing.
