in reply to: Anyone NOT gain weight after RAI? and VENT #1064878

Hi, I have had three doses of RAI, the max you can take. I’m a 6′ 2" male and I have went as high as 225, and recently decided to change my poor eating habits at work. I have lost 8 pounds and would like to lose 17 more. At 45, It is a bit of a struggle to keep the weight off, but it can be done. Fortunately, my job is very physically demanding, so I burn a lot of calories. The biggest thing I have noticed is avoiding all fast food, and avoiding sugar within reason has really helped a lot. Read food labels. If it has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, run the other way.
I would recommend discussing your concerns with your Endo.
Really, in the end it is up to you to take care of your body. You only get one. ” title=”Very Happy” />

Just wanted to say hang in there. You will get better. I have been living with Graves for about 13 years. It is a long path to recovery, but you will feel better. Talk to your Endo. I know they are always in a hurry but you really have to let them know how you feel. Keep your chin up and be strong. It took me 7 years to get leveled out, and there is still the occasional Synthroid adjustment. I also fight the aches and pains daily too. Taking vitamin D per my Endo, has made a huge difference in how I feel physically and emotionally. Best of luck and don’t let this disease beat you!
