5-1/2 months post op - Why all of a sudden am I so tired again?

I am 5-1/2 months post op and for the last couple of months I seemed to be feeling "normal" again. Now for the past two weeks, I feel exhausted. I am taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D (this is the feeling I get when my Vitamin D has been low in the past). I have been stressed out lately, but this seems more than stress. I know they say 6 months to a year to heal, but why all of a sudden am I so tired again? Can anyone help?

Could it be, the more 'normal' you feel, the more you do...causing the increase in tiredness? Maybe your body is telling you to take a break, and lounge around this weekend if you can.

I'm not as far out, so I'm sorry I don't have any real pearls of wisdom for you.
I hope you get your zip back soon

That's part of my problem. I'm so tired by the weekend that all I want to do is sleep.

What about possible low iron? Maybe get your hb checked? Just a thought

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I'm really shaky, too. Feels like I've had a ton of caffeine when I haven't had any more than usual and I feel hungry all the time. We'll see what she says.

I am with Eilju - I'd get your iron checked. I was at 6 and didn't even know it (8 is considered possibly life threatening). I just thought I was tired due to life events, not that I was internally bleeding (hence the hysto). I'm definately have then check that...

Have you had your thyroid checked? That's another thing.
Let us know how your dr appt goes.

OOOOHHH...I have to chime in on this one!!! I'm 5 months post LSH...got to keep my ovaries. Over the last 2 months, I have started matching my menopausal sister symptom for symptom, except that the emotional roller coaster will drop your stomach faster than anything Disney can keep up with...and I'm pretty sure I am personally responsible for any recent global warming issues!!!
Made an appt. with my doctor to check this out - we did hb and tsh in April as part of yearly exam (did those b/c I turned 40 and she checks everything)...hopefully we can both come back on here soon and say we've figured it out!
Best of luck with your appointment - keep us posted - GREAT THOUGHTS GOING OUT TO YOU!!

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 6 months ago. My general practioner attributed it to the Lupron Injections I was given for endometriosis. I was extremely tired, emotional, weight gain, and my hair was extremely brittle. I have been on Synthroid for 6 months and feel much better. I was tired following my hysterectomy (now 7 weeks post-op) but am doing great now. I would have your doctor test your TSH, T3, and T4.

I had all sorts of lab work done and am waiting on the results. My doctor thinks my symptoms could be all menopausal. I've been taking Remifemin for 3 months because I didn't have much for symptoms and because I've had a blood clot in my leg previously. We decided to try Estradiol and pray I don't get a blood clot. I'm low risk but having had a blood clot the risk is always there. We'll see what the blood tests show.
