[QUOTE="Annb, post: 1714203, member: 25851"] I was supposed to go for surgery on one of my arthritic knees on 07 March but have had to cancel because at present I am feeling so low. I sleep like a log - day or night (or both) and am finding that even my jaw muscles ache when I eat! I've only felt this way since I had surgery to remove a tumour from my parathyroid - which meant removing a fair bit of my thyroid as well because it was growing into my thyroid. I was put onto levothyroxine to balance the thyroid hormone level but now I feel dreadful - muscle fatigue like I would never have believed - making any activity very painful - even laying on my bed. While in the hospital for the parathyroid surgery, I managed to develop an infection which took 3 weeks worth of antibiotics to settle, then I caught that really bad flu that went around. That was at the end of December and here we are in March and I don't seem to be able to recover. I don't know if it is a knock on effect from the thyroid, the infection or flu I have been taking a milk thistle supplement to try to help my damaged liver, so maybe that is the problem. Whatever it is, I can't see me recovering from knee surgery just now. The hospital was a bit shirty when I phoned to cancel but agreed to put the date off for a month. If I can't make that, they'll cross me off the list. I have an appointment to see my doctor on 07 March and will see what she says. [/QUOTE]
