Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi Holly This is a interesting question. I went this morning for my blood test and we got into a amazing conversation. I told him I had joined a support group and the information I was getting was incredable. We got talking about the medication and he said, the medication is a pain as it has so many side effects RAI is better. I told him I had a list of 20 reasons for not having RAI and he was interested. I asked how come he had it and he said he knew nothing about it when he had it. He was not informed. He to this day still thinks its OK. He has had his thyroid out. He did get into the discussion about how its a nuisance to take the medication forever and how he over doses. He said he takes it before his morning cuppa, then half an hour later can't remember taking it. He said because it becomes a habit and he's been doing it so long you forget. I told him if he a GP can't remember, who can. So it goes to show that your general practitioner is just that. They are a general doctor that you go to, and if and when you have something more serious, you are then referred on. He also said that he only picks it up (Thyroid) now because he had it himself. Prior to that he didn't. Plus he didn't pick it up in himself. He also said that he did NOT get poppy eyes until after medication. So here I am thinking I'm out of the woods as I've started treatment so can't get that. I would also like to add that 'Herbie' my doctor is very caring and is happy to share and LISTEN. He asked me to bring in my list next time I'm in. I am so lucky to have him sharing this with me. So for those who weren't informed, see even doctors are not always informed.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Me too. He really is a lovely person and would do anything to help. He phones for a chat to see how I am doing. I was just so amazed that he has had the RAI then in the end had it removed. I wish even he had a support group like this.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Sue, I am curious as to why he had it removed after having RAI? Was there some complication that removing it addressed?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi Sue, What a wonderful visit you had with your GP. It is really nice to hear he is willing to talk and listen, and read what you share. You may want to also print up the extended symptoms list to take into him. It sounds like he may be having a problem with conversion of T4 to T3 if he is still having problems remembering...we call that brain fog He may benefit greatly from adding T3 to his regimen or switching to Armour. T3 makes a big difference for many of us. Am I reading right or not understanding...did he have RAI and then thyroid surgery? Does he have Graves by chance? You may want to invite him to join the group. Take care, Jody _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
