Did you ever get some answers? I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed 35 years ago and two weeks ago I had some more thyroid tissue removed that had benign nodules. My surgeon increased my levothyroxine from 25mcg to 88mcg, which seems like to much of an increase to me as I read you should increase by 12-25mcg at a time. For the past week I've had terrible fatigue and just don't feel well. I was thinking it's due to the large increase in my levothyroxine but maybe it's because the meds haven't had time to work yet? Just wondered how you were doing and if you had any further info or suggestions. Thanks.
Sounds like you need to call your doc. If your medicine was adjusted that might be the problem . Best of luck
