another bad side from tx

For the six weeks or so after tx I felt better each week. Since then been going down hill. Now I have joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue and loss of any motivation. It isn’t as bad as tx sides but close. My body temperature has been running 2 to 4 low. I went to my liver Dr and he said everything looks good, GP did blood test and said everything looks good. So I went to an Endocrinologist. Endo doc says tx and/or immune system damage thyroid. I’m now on Thyroid meds- maybe for life. I hope that is the problem. Been doing the drug for a month but no help yet
 I’ve been reading a lot about post tx patients that are affected for years with debilitating side effects. I guess this goes along with the flu like symptoms they warned us about.  The good news is it doesn't effect many this way

Hey Tom, sorry to hear that...
I believe KM is taking thyroid meds and Gage had to start them too, you might want to talk to them...
I know you are careful with your diet and what you eat... Are you taking any vitamin supplements? Have you started doing sports again?
When is your 6 month VL check?

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately thyroid function is affected. Hopefully maybe an adjustment in the medication will help.
