Took RAI today. Radiologist said that it usually takes two doses with such a high uptake. I hope it takes, keeping my fingers crossed. Said I had to go back 6 months later if I need a new dose. I am just ready to be done with all this mess. No one offered me to take both the methimezole and synthroid… I would have tried anything not to have to put this in my body. And yes, little changes would change my blood work a lot. Did you or do you also have the extreme mood changes?? What can I do for them, if anything? What works for you?

I am new to the group, I just read this post and had to reply.

I was diagnosed with GD in Sept. 2008. I’ve taken Methimazole since without any success in achieving normal levels, always way to low or to high. I have gone from three times the normal to almost nothing. It literally feels like a train wreck!! I have forgotten what normal is. My uptake scan was 86%. Hot, trembles, big goiter, heart rate at its highest was in the 120s, difficulty breathing, are just a few of the symptoms I was dealing with.

Loud noises drive me crazy now, which is bad because I have three children. I find myself so moody, so uptight now, I feel like I am out of control, I don’t mean to be, I feel just plain mean right now. I don’t know what to tell you about your hubby; abuse is going to far- but if he feels like I do, I know he does not mean to be the way he is to you.

I really hope my family understands that I don’t mean to be this bad person that I am right now, I am just going through something. I know this is not who I am and I hope they know it too!!

I am going in the morning to see the Radiologist to get the Radioactive iodine treatment ordered. I have now idea what happens from there or if it will work but at this point, I am desperate to be normal. Good luck to you and your husband
