    I had RAI on 10/25. Received 12 mCi after having an uptake of 53%. DAy 1 I felt fine, day 2, worked from home and started to feel tired, since then I’m just increasingly tired. I just want to lay down and my appetitie is a little off. This is similar to how I felt when hyper, except I also had high heart rate which is now better on atenelol. Is it likely I’m experiencing dumping already – within a few after my RAI?

    Typically we tell folks to expect the dumping "about" a week after RAI. Everyone is different, and it depends upon how quickly the thyroid cells are damaged sufficiently to release their stored hormone.

    I hope you are feeling better soon.

    I’m experiencing something similar. 3 days after RAI and I’ve got no energy whatsoever. Haven’t felt this way since I had Mono as a kid. Just lying in bed with my laptop trying to figure this out. Good to hear that this is normal/not unordinary. Thanks!
