Under active thyroid symptons

[Megs2906]

Hey,
I had my bloods done a few weeks ago and I’m slightly under active, back in 6 weeks time to check again. I recently had a hemi thyroidectomy. Just wondering wat symptoms did any of you experience? Mine is almost identical to first trimester, exhausted, hungry and nausea 😩 would love something for the tiredness zzzzz

Hi,

Yes it's exhausting. Constipation too for me and weakness.

Hopefully your thyroid will grow to accommodate the missing part but I understand from a couple of friends it can take a good year to feel fully normal again, unless you're offered thyroxine. I think they often prefer not to though as the healthy part can recover the function for the whole.
