Thanks for your reply; that's great to hear that yours settled down...gives me a bit of hope; I'm a little nervous that I could be one of the unlucky ones stuck on supplements long term but good to hear a good case such as yours. Fingers crossed we'll be as lucky!

I'm feeling ok thanks... still a bit tired from it all... looking after an energetic 15month old on top of everything sure takes it out of you hey?? Hard to know what symptoms are related to the parathyroid issue and the lack of a thyroid. Think I had gone a bit underactive prior to surgery as I know that's how they want you but have had heaps of issues with hair falling out; tired; peeling nails; and now just feel super tired after walking up the stairs.

To be honest I actually felt pretty full of energy and great with the Graves...guess cause by body was firing on all cylinders but I know it couldn't sustain that long term it burns out...bummer hey!!

I'll keep checking in on this thread to see how you all are doing...it's good to be able to chat with people going through something similiar.... feel like it's all numbers and figures when you talk to your endo...you wait weeks to see them and then you are in and out in a few minutes once they've discussed your "levels" (which I still don't really understand...guess I'll have to know I'm on thyroxin for life!!)

Thanks once again for giving me some hope this might settle!!
