Greetings,
Well it has been 1 week since I took RAI and I am happy to report that I am actually starting to feel better. As I have indicated in the past, I really felt lousey after I went off the Tapazole and I am glad to have some relief. I have spent the last few weeks being exhausted in the afternoons and having absolutely no concentration during the day. My stomach hurt and I felt totally out of it. About two days ago, I began to get back “into my body” and it really felt trrrific. I know that this might not last forever, but for now it is ok. I am sure if my thyroid has been reduced too much, that I will begin to have other symtoms. For now, and I hope through the holidays, I feel pretty good. I don’t think that I ever realized how rotten I have felt as a result of this disease. It wasn’t unitl the Tapazole that I realized that the eway that I had been feeling just wasn’t normal.
I appreciate all the feed back that everyone has given and am glad that I have found this group. It has given me a lot of insight into how we all feel and has given me some good questions to ask the doctor. Speaking of the doctor, he has put me on a high dose B vitamin. Has anyone else gotten this prescribed? I also wonder if all the dry skin that I seem to be having ghas anything to do with Graves or is it just winter. Bobbie, I read what you said to the one person who had a rash and from being there, I agree with your advice, call a doctor, but thi is just dry dry skin, particularly on my hands.
