Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 > Pamela in Miami > TT 12/7/02 --- Hi Pamela, I absolutely agree with that LID is essential for good RAI uptake. Can you pressure your doctor to move you up to a date sooner than January? You are almost ready for your ablation/scan, NOW. By Jan 6th or 7th, you will be sooooo hypo. A TSH of >30 is all that is required. Even if your doctor wants it >50 as some endos do, you will likely get there in a matter of days. If you follow the LID strictly for one week, you will be okay. I did it that way, 'cause I know me and I figured I'd crave so badly after about 10 days that I'd surely cheat. For one week, you can do anything, one day at a time. I didn't even get fancy about my LID. I wasn't hungry while hypo, which helped. Your Christmas may be energy deplete, but you could have a wonderful Birthday celebration. Or as suggests, two parties would also be nice. :-) Best to you, in OH -- 1965 TT, mixed P/F, no RAI, hypoparathyroidism 1982 Recurrence in neck & chest, RAI 176 mCi 2001 Clean scan PTL~!
