hello,I was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma in 1997,but way before that I always felt lethargic and had bone crushing headaches along with depressed feelings.My bones ached, my vision was always fuzzy and i was in my early 30's.I thought I was at the end of the road.My question to anyone listening,is this lethargic feeling common amongst thyroid cancer survivors?My doc told me that the cancer is still active by veiwing my blood tests results.Anti bodies are high and thryo-globulin is still high.OK ,can anyone relate?thanks!

If my Synthroid is not correct then I feel that way. HAve you had another radioactive Iodine treatment for the Cancer. I was diagnosed in 99 ans just had another treatment last summer. The same dose as first time. My findings were activity in my neck and all microscopic. No tumors found. I have a body scan each summer since 99. Can't say if it was cancer for sure or not. No choice.Do treatment. I have never had headaches or fuzzy vision.
