Hi miss.thanks for writing to HCM. Firstly I would like to appreciate u donated blood. Once you donate blood around 400 ml is only taken out fr ur circulation which doesn't cause a significant fatigue but yes it takes 120 days ( 3 months ) for recovery of new blood cells so it is quiet normal with you.since u HV hypothyroidism body needs more nutrition so do take loads of water and iron rich food.
