I am new to the group and am scheduled for RAI tomorrow...

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Michele and I am a 33 year old female. I am scheduled for

RAI tomorrow at 11:30am. I have been suffering with GD and HyperT

(TSH .001) for over a year. Then I went into extreme HypoT (TSH 108)

after not responding correctly to the Tapazole no matter how we cut

down the dose. My Dr. is nice but he just doesn't move fast enough or

tell me important things. (sounds like many of you are having hard

times finding a good ENDO.) After browsing some of your prior

messages, I am wondering why no one has told me about any side

effects or potential problems after this RAI treatment. I am married

with no children yet* (yet is the key word since my husband and I

desperately want a child) I actually was told after this RAI, I

should be able to have children after waiting at least 6months. Now I

am scared. Please give me some other examples of potential problems

of having this done. I don't have time to try to read all of the old

messages. In case you need to know my uptake level, it was very high

at 78 (24 hour). Good Luck to you all. It is so nice to have support

like this. I just feel like I am 100% NUTS! I suffer with almost

every symptom on the list.
