thankyou for your swift reply ” title=”Very Happy” />

i think im over the worst of that now but it was so scary at the time. i ended up phoning a nhs helpline , forgot to add, im in England. Dont know if that makes a difference ” title=”Confused” /> I hope not as this looks like just the place i need ” title=”Very Happy” /> . I did look at a .co.uk site but it was filled with doom and gloom , even though i know ive got a long journey ahead its nice to read the positives ” title=”Smile” />

in reply to: Anyone NOT gain weight after RAI? and VENT #1064879

hello, even though this topic is a few months old its the topic that led me to this site , i thought id reply to help any future people that are worried about this.

when i was diagnosed i had never heard of the three treatments that i would be having. RAI . prednisone and carbimazole so i looked them up on the internet. All three came back with horror stories of weight gain ” title=”Sad” />

because i had already gained 20lbs before diagnosis ( even though i should have lost weight ) i realised i could not afford to gain more.

the day of my RAI i started to keep track of everything i ate, i cut out the junk and unhealthy stuff. Im now three weeks post RAI, on the prednisone and carbimazole and have lost 8lbs ” title=”Very Happy” />

now i know im still hyper so it should still be easier to lose but i reckon any loss now will ease the gain if it happens when i go hypo.

thankyou ” title=”Smile” />
