Immediate effect of thyroidectomy

Hi, I have had Long Covid for four years now. Tests showed nothing they though of as 'Covid' at the time, but they spotted a Thyroid tumour. After four years of mucking about, this week I had the thyroid removed , it had been done in stages - another story.

For four years I had been assured that my LC symptoms were nothing to do with the cancer, but, when I woke up from the op, I felt different, better indeed, not cured but definitely better. My head was more clear and my voice was less damaged. My strength is greater - but runs out faster too. Basically, is this due to the op or the fact I have started taking Levothyroxine?

I showed this letter my late mother wrote to everyone - looks to me as if she was right in my case too.
