Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with persistent fatigue following post splenectomy and post Hodgkins Lymphoma I will suggest you have developed Immunodeficiency disorder so please see your physician for clinical evaluation and expectant management
Concerning your elevated cholesterol I am very sure it is related to your hypothyroidism disorder reason it inadvertently cause increase in weight gain so in this circumstance take tablet lipitor to curb the abnormal cholesterol level
I hope this helps Regards
