Thanks to those of you who responded so quickly to my first post.
I have new questions:
1) I am now hyper – and will soon (this week I think) undergo RAI. Right now my body is telling me NOT to exercise, and I am listening. But my brain tells me that exercise is generally good. Should I push past my body, and start exercising now? Should I wait until I am hypo? When is the best time to push myself?
2) During the winter, I often have many colds. I have been taking echinacea (sp?) to build my immune system. I stopped taking it 2 weeks ago, concerned that my immune system more than a bit confused these days. When may I begin taking it again?
3) After I am on thyroid replacement stuff, may I again use over the counter decongestants? I guess, my theory is, if I no longer have a thyroid how can I have thyroid disease? Sorry, I’m not asking you to be my doctor or pharmacist; just asking what you have discovered.
Thanks again for your support. I look forward to sharing helpful experiences in the future!
