Hi Renee
Hi Renee,
Sorry you are going through these problems.
My cancer experience doesn't relate to yours but I wanted
to respond to your post. Also, there is a Thyroid Discussion
Board and you might want to try there as well.
If your thyroid was removed you are probably taking synthetic hormones right?
I pasted something I found below which matches many of your symptoms and
relates to those hormones being out of whack.
I also found out Thyroid tissue can grow back but it doesn't
produce the hormones. That could be what's going on also.
Treatment for cancer has come a very long way since 1981 so please
know there's hope. There are many long term survivors here and
you will find a wealth of support from caring people at this site.
Please keep us posted.
Big hugs,
Jim

Some signs of hypothyroidism are extreme fatigue, hair loss and red/purple blotches on the skin. The reversal of these symptoms by the use of synthetic hormones, such as synthroid, is dramatic.0 -

Hi Jim,
Thank you for responding.My thyroid level is perfect had to go to the er recently so I had some labs already,I have experienced hyperthyroidism in the past, wish it was hyperthyroidism but that can be ruled out. I have been going through thyroid scans for 30 years and thus far no thyroid tissue, although I am not ruling that out. I also am going to be seen by a rheumatoligist at the end of Nov. My thoughts are positive so one way or another all will work out. I will keep you posted on the test results. Thank you again for caring enough to find out these facts for me.
Hugs back hope all is well
