A member asked:

Can a low iodine diet cause extreme tiredness in a person who had undergone thyroid gland removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

THYROID: Check thyroid and TSH blood levels and be sure you're getting enough medication, does your dr know youre tired? Dr & patient are a team. Patient's job is to keep dr informed and follow the best recommended path. Keep up your side of the team!
