    You haven’t heard from me for some days because I have been feeling wonderful and took advantage by doing things I haven’t done in months.

    I am starting my 4th week post RAI and now I am so tired. Still have some energy, but fatigued and not clearheaded again.
    Today I had a tad of the shakes but not much else. Just tired.
    We’ll see what happens next. I see Dr next week. Can’t wait. Still a little worried that maybe 8mcis wasn’t enough and hoping I don’t have to go through this all again.

    It’ll be quite some time before you know whether that was enough ~ don’t let it worry you, please, just enjoy your newfound feeling of well being. That’s a wonderful thing, I’m so glad to hear you’ve been out enjoying yourself! I always felt better having a standing order at the lab, so I could have results as soon as I felt "weird," has your doctor got you set up for that?

    Hi there,

    Yes Ski, I did happen to have a standing order and will request it again from here on. I too liked being able to go in as soon as I felt weird. In a few days I get to see those results already (yay). Today I volunteered a whole day at my kids’ school. That was the first time I worked away from home (still won’t go back to teach yet but hoped I might be ready). Obviously I am not really yet ready. I crashed as soon as I got home. The hours flew and next thing I knew, hubby was home from work standing over me asking if I was ok? The kids were going wild in the living room (they are old enough with me in the next room) and wondered how I didn’t hear the commotion?? I thought only 10 mins passed but it was 3 hours later since I arrived home from volunteering. I realized I am no where near ready for my full time job again. I teach online for now and that works perfectly as I can stay in tee shirt and shorts (I live in Florida) without worrying how I look (which is tired!) all day but then wander to bed or the sofa take a nap when necessary. I don’t need to leave home to get anything done. This is driving me stir crazy on one hand as I desperately want to be ready to teach in a "brick and mortar" class again but I am grateful I don’t have to drag myself out of the home in those moments I need true rest.
