well as u all know i had my treatment today. when i went in they told me that my thyroid uptake was 98% and that my thyroid was very over active and that i was not going to be isolated cause i wont be secreting that much. im so happy im not stuck in my room. all i have to do is eat separate and i quote ”dont spit or urinate on anyone” lol. my dose was 15m. now i just wait. im tired going to nap.. so my question is. is it working now.
Yes it is working now. With a high uptake rate your thyroid will be absorbing the RAI like a sponge. Keep us posted and let us know how you are doing.
And yes please do not spit or do other bodily fluid time things to others until the doc said it is OK. Even if you think they deserve it 9-)
lol thanks for the laugh jake george. i needed that. im doing ok but its only day one. i feel tired and super hungry. like i cant get enough food but too sick to my stomach to really eat. i just feel blah but very happy with my decision so far. i just wnt to be better. im tired of feeling sad and worthless
Hopeful – Sad and worthless are the pits. It is interesting how our thyroids can impact mood. I am ordinarily very optimistic and this year that has turned upside down – esp when my levels are off. The last month or so, I start to feel like myself more of the time. Maybe it is some other things to do with my life situation, too. But nothing in my life has ever made me suddenly feel sad and worthless as quickly as my thyroid levels being off. I laughingly told my therapist that if I ever blew my brains out – to check my TSH cause it would probably be out of wack.
Good luck with the healing – let us know. Hoping your appitite is back tomorrow. I am headed for a few days in a tent so won’t be around until next week. Cathy
