Life after total thyroidectomy after papillary cancer

My endocrinologist thinks the same about me. Since TT in May 2019, I have had insomnia then sometimes sleeping up to 18 hours a day, anxiety, cannot tolerate heat and will sweat in 50° weather, or I'm freezing cold, serious memory issues, mood is totally off, no energy, weight gain, nerve compression in my foot, hands numb and hair falling out. Since the TT, it feels like my body is missing something. I have been to a psychiatrist and Psychologist. I do not have a psych disorder. I was put on a mood stabilizer. It has helped with the mood swings. My doc says as long as my levels are right, I should feel fine. He thinks I'm trying to further my disability claim. I am not. I wish there was more research done on people with a TT. I have seen the same complaints in other groups. Why don't the doctors believe what we are saying. It is not being diagnosed with cancer, my body is "off" since the TT. I know I'm forgetting something. Feel free to ask questions.

@selliott, it sounds like your thyroid levels might not be right for you. Have you seen an endocrinologist?
