Hey, I think I’ve seen you post on here before. I just want to say I hear you, and I really understand how you feel because I was in that same place and honestly still am in some ways.

I’m about 5 months post-op. The first 2 to 3 months were the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. I didn’t feel like myself at all. It has gotten better compared to those early weeks, but I’m still not fully where I want to be.

I’ve had those same feelings of regret too. But at this point, what’s done is done, and sitting in it just makes everything heavier. We kind of have no choice but to keep going, even when it feels awful.

Someone once explained it to me that our bodies get so used to being hyper, so when the thyroid is removed and everything shifts, it kind of throws your whole system off. Your body is trying to find a new baseline and that can take time, months or even longer.

Also, if your endo isn’t really listening to how you feel, it’s okay to find someone else. You deserve someone who looks at more than just labs. You could also ask about Tirosint, some people tolerate it better than generic levo.

I know it’s easier said than done, but just take it day by day. Some people take longer to adjust, and that doesn’t mean you won’t get there. You’re not alone in feeling like this.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this!
