New here with post RAI hypo

May 11, 2006

I was diagnosed with Graves many months ago and had RAI. I went

hypo with a severe drop in about 6 weeks. I landed in the hospital

due to the fact my levels became so low I could not wake up. I

received IV Synthroid. I havebeen on a progressive does since then

and now am up to 150mg of Synthroid. I am doing better but some of

the symptoms linger.

What I need to know is... what now? I have gain a TON of weight and

I feel like this is now a life sentenance. I need to have help with

what foods are the right thing to consume and what i need to do to

get be back on track.

I am so angry about all of this. I do not want to have to fight

this for the rest of my life. Weight has always been an issue for

me. I now have this " disease " that makes it an affliction.

I am hoping that I can get some insight on all of this so I dont

feel like this is a life sentence. Please let mesee that there is a

light at the end of this tunnel.

Thanks... from Indiana
