Hypothyroidism
Today I got a call from my doctors office and they informed me that the immunotherapy (Ipilumimab) is causing me to have hypothyroidism. This explains my extreme fatigue, constantly being hot and my difficulty falling asleep - no matter how tired I am. They started me on some medication to help regulate the thyroid so hopefully that starts to help. Hopefully this is all temporary and I will be able to go off of the medication sooner rather than later.
