I want my thyroid back....

[Guest guest]

I'm 14 days post-op (I had it removed because of several nodules,

and my hormone levels had always been normal), and I'm taking 125 of

synthroid. Yesterday was my first day back to work, and it was

exhausting. I'm really tired in the afternoons, about 1pm, and

yesterday was no exception. but I stuck it out 'til 5 pm, but I wish

I hadn't...I rear ended someone on the way home. I'm ok, and I think

the other two drivers will be ok too. No real damage to my vehicle

(i drive an SUV), but their bumpers are very crunched up. I hit the

car in front of me, and pushed her into the car ahead. Poor poor

women, I feel bad that I ruined their days...

I feel just terrible. Could I be a danger to others? I felt ok to

drive, just tired and ready to go home, but maybe my reflexes are

slowed?

Is it too early to ask my endo's office for a blood test? I'm only

two weeks post- surgery, and I have no other medical problems. I

called them earlier today, but I haven't heard back yet. I told the

voicemail about my fatigue (on schedule everyday btwn 1-2pm) and the

headaches (at 9am). I take my pill everyday at 6am with 10 oz of

water, and wait an hour to eat. The only other thing I take is a

multivitamin, at around 4p, if I remember it.

Someone on another board recommended I ask my endo for cytomel, and

I left that in the message to his staff. Would Shomon's book be a

good place to start educating myself a little more on lab test

results, since now I have to pay more attention to this stuff?

I want my thyroid back...or can I have a transplant???
