Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I will need some details.
As you have undergone thyroid removal, you must be on Thyroxine replacement.
What dose are you on?

The dose of Thyroxine needs to be reduced. Its been 7 yrs, if theres been no recurrence, then chances are very low now. So the TSH need not be targetted to be so low. Excess dosing can be the cause of your symptoms.
