    Hey everyone just a quick update. I had my RAI Tuesday morning. I spent three days in my bedroom, because my grandson lives with us (he’s two). I guess I was hoping for a quick miracle, I feel horrible. I was hoping to go back to work tomorrow, but as of now I can’t do anything physical for more than 1/2 hour without breaking into a sweat. What have the rest of you experienced in the early days after your RAI. Thanks, Barb

    Finally a diagnosis. After my uptake test my doctor called me right to his office. Although I don’t have Graves disease I do have a rather large nodule on the left side of my thyroid (2.50 cm. by 1.34 Cm). They are going to give me a RAI treatment that is suppose to specifically target the nodule. That is as soon as Nuclear medicine will answer their phone. Can they really target that nodule specfically? I have had high energy levels the past two days(yeah!) and hopefully that means I’ll have a good week.

    Just a quick update, the beta blockers have slowed down my heart rate and have allowed me to write a few words without tremors. My doctor doen’t want my rate to go above 100, so far it hasn’t gotten to ninety. I’m still waiting for my test results. Needless to say my mind has been racing with all these questions concerning where I go next, and how this will affect my life and my job. Thanks for the encouagment and support.
