I have had blood drawn now after having RAI 03 Dec 2010. I will go to see general pract on the 10th. Unknown when/if I can make another appt to Endo? Went from 6-14 in size in a week around the end of November. It is very hard to function physically or mentally and I am terrified of having a stroke. I am still on inderal 2x/day. I enjoy being busy at work, I have been given extra work 12hr days. I guess today is a venting day as I am struggling every day about this weight gain. I really need to get back to my real size. I appreciate this sounding board, though I have told my new endo that I am really depressed and my weight gain, he says he’s got this. I am trying to cope and find myself saying and doing the most stupid things anymore, and am getting sick of obsessing about this. Am down to loosing only a handful and a half of hair when I shower instead of 5 handfuls. Thank God I have alot of hair. So far I have had no sypmtoms with my eyes and am still scheduled to have PRK? surgery in April. Thanks for being there. I sometimes am not sure how I endure each day or night. Take care all.

Hi,
I am new to the Graves Disease Arena. I am very grateful for this forum, as pointed out by K. D. I am forever in debt. I do not have a support group in the Hampton Roads area od Virginia. I am humbled and mortified of all the detachment of my hormons, the affects of the fall out, the emotional/physical affects, I mean. I am very pleased to read and absorb these posts and not go through this alone. I am grateful you all are here.

I have just recieved RAI treatment 03 Dec. I took a few days off and was allowed to continue Inderal. I am really not interested in going through "storm" twice. I am a very sensitive person, want to talk about feelings? Argh! I have had to force my way to an appointment with Endo and then no problem to see my PCM the next day.

I will address many questions and hopefully this time will get some answered.
I am learning a little more by reading here.
