I hope 5 years is the magic number! I am glad to hear you've had 3 good months! For me, I still have anxiety and Depression everyday. Also the fatigue is very bad! I am so sleepy every single day I can not function without a nap or 2 or 3! I can't put a finger on exactly what I am feeling but its just different. I do not feel like myself at all, kind of like on the outside looking in. (weird, sad and lonely, a stranger to myself) Lastly, I feel almost sick everyday just like weak, headache, etc.
As far as tests, I have not been to a doctor in 2 years because I gave up on them. I have tried everything and had all the usual tests done 2+ years ago and have had enough.
So, I just plug along day by day wondering who I am and when if ever will the real me come back.
I wish you the best and hope you continue your recovery! Take care.

NIle THANK YOU sooo much for posting. After reading your post I feel a little more hopeful that I could still get better. I'm 3 years and 3 months post removal, had a baby 14 months ago and i'm still not doing so good.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that you still come around. So, were you still having a lot of problems by the 3 year mark?
