thank for your support

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone here who replied or took time read my post. Yeah, I

got RAI last week. I have been on PTU for almost 6 years. During the

past 6 years, I have been on and off for 3 times. I started with

450mg per day and got to a point only needed to take 25mg per day.

But after got off 3 times, I needed to take 450mg per day again and

the symptoms were not well control.

I am working in research lab and got access to a lot of resources

and also got support from here as well. In a certain degree, I am

well informed. Just each after the endo weaned me off from PTU,

hyper symptoms just kept coming back, each time i had to double the

dose to control it. It got to a point that 450mg PTU still got it

control well. So after some strugle, I decided to take the RAI last

week. This is the second week after RAI. I still felt a bit hyper

but not as bad before, still need beta-blocker. and the radiation

counter does buz but not as bad as last week. I drank a lot of

fluid, i mean a lot.

I will go back to check TSH in 6 weeks. If TSH is still very low,

then I am really not sure if I want to go through this again.

Thanks, everyone
