Jane,
I can really relate to you inability to get the house cleaned and to complete other household responsibilities. Sometimes I get so down about not being able to have a clean house, bake voraciously, and cook my “made from scratch” meals. I am 11 weeks post RAI and I CAN’T WAIT to get where you are!!!!

Hi Jan. I completely agree with you. I should have included an explicit
recommendation to discuss this possibility with her endocrinologist
(from hell) first.

In my particular case, I have permission from my endocrinologist to
make whatever dosing adjustments I deem necessary. I have done so very
successfully. At least in my particular case, the only relevant variable
has been whether I feel hyper, normal, or hypo (which I’m skilled at
discriminating) and not whether my TSH results are low-normal, mid-normal,
or high-normal

I was in warrior spirit for the five years I felt like hell between
beginning my GD treatment and this past summer. I went through more
tests and possibilities then you can imagine. Fortunately for me,
I no longer need to be a warrior.

Feeling Better
