Correct . . . you stay on T-4 with no change. I had no allergy problems.

I have heard mention of TSH injections before the RAI treatment to stimulate

the cells to uptake the I131--is this what you are referring to?

As another new member, I would be very curious about that....apparently

you don't have to go off meds. My endo just mentioned it in passing and

I have my endo appointment on Friday and I will ask about it...

Hi, Amy -

I was away from my computer for several days and am trying to catch up now.

I didn't notice any responses to your letter from last week, so I'll take a stab

at it.

First of all, I'm so impressed that your doctor recommended the thyca.org

website! So many doctors scoff at patients who get information via the

internet.

Were your thyroglobulin tests done while you were hypo, or only suppressed?

This makes a big difference. If you haven't had a hypo Tg test, then I would

recommend doing that before anything

else; chances are the number will rise dramatically.

What were your RAI doses the last two times?

The presence of Tg indicates the presence of thyroid tissue. There have been

many people on this list over the years who agreed to " just watch " a relatively

low Tg, and then went hypo and found

the number to be quite high, requiring more treatment than they would have

needed to get rid of it in the first place.

Your doctor is right - it could come back to haunt you in 50 years; it could

also come back to haunt you in 20 years, or 10, or 5. If it were me, I would

get rid of it now.

Welcome ,

Glad to hear that your sister referred you to a good doctor who dx your

thyca. I assure you, you do have a mind. Hasn't your doctor given you

instructions on what to do? You will need to go off of your thyroxine

replacement and reach a TSH of greater than 30 before the scan. Cytomel

makes the transition for some a little more tolerable. YMMV (your mileage

may vary) and until you try it, you won't know. This should all be done

under your doctor's guidance and s/he should have given you instructions

to follow. The LID diet for one to two weeks before scanning is added

insurance for a good scan resullt. It makes the thyroid cells thirsty for

the RAI.

Ask questions as they come to mind. Folks here have a wealth of knowledge

about thyca.

Hi ,

Doing some catchup myself now...

The last couple of my thyroglobulin tests have been

done while I was suppressed. I didn't realize there

was a difference, so I'll have to ask my endo about

that. I also need to go back and look at what my RAI

doses were, since it's been so long. Thanks for the

prod to do so!

Also, upon re-reading my earlier message, I realize it

could be interpreted as possibly disrespecting my

endo. I don't want to give that impression -- he's

been great!

Hi , Thank you so much for writing me back. I

don't have a clue of what I am doing. I feel really

stupid but I don't even know what a LID diet is. Where

can I get all this information on the diet. I will

call my doctor or E-Mail him and try to find out what

I need to do. You don't know how much it means to me

to me to be able to talk about this with someone that

knows what I'm going through. Is it normal to have

really bad mood swings, to where you just can't get

alone with anyone. I don't want to bother you a lot

right off, I hope to talk to you again soon.

Hi, ,

Welcome! You will find so much help in this group. I am confused

about the timing of your RAI. Did you have an ablative dose in the

Fall? Why are you having another RAI treatment so soon?

You will find that it is important to keep records of your

treatment. Dates and number of millicuries of each RAI, TSH levels

and any thyroglobulin (tg) levels.

You can ask your MD's office staff to give you copies of lab reports,

radiology reports and even the final summaries from your surgeries.

Keep them in a notebook so they are handy. (Easy for me to say, I

did not start collecting this info until 10 years after Vern's first

thyca diagnosis.)

Take a deep breath, know that you are among friends, and ask any and

every question that occurs to you. Good luck,

Jane

Hi, -

Briefly LID is a low iodine diet, which is generally recommended for the 2 weeks

before RAI scanning and/or treatment. The idea is to deplete your body of as

much iodine as possible so that your

thyroid cells will be " hungry " for the radioactive iodine (RAI).

Mood swings are very common during thyroid cancer treatment. First of all, you

have been going through a lot in the past months, digesting your diagnosis and

trying to educate yourself on the

protocol.

Additionally, your hormones are in fluctuation. Between the time your thyroid

gland was removed and the time you began taking T4 (Synthroid, etc.), you were

functioning without any thyroid

hormone at all, and it generally takes weeks if not months for your levels to

get to the proper level.

A good web site for some basic, easy to understand information about thyroid

cancer is http://www.focusoncancer.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=495

Hi ,

is affectionately known around here as the LID lady...or maybe I

just made it up... Regardless, she can tell you everything you always

wanted to know about the LID. She has amassed a valuable resource for the

diet, including recipes, etc. PLease dont feel stupid for not knowing what

the LID is. I never heard of LID before joining this group last Spring.

and others here helped me through my hypo-LID experience.

The mood swings are also common, as has said. Hang in there and ask

away. The only question that is stupid is the one that isn't asked.

Hi ,

I'm a 49 year young male

started the SBD 12/30/03.

Weight at start was 228

Yesterday weighed in at 200.5

27.5 lbs in about 2 1/2 weeks. For me, end of week 2 brought massive

lower stomach pains. My daughter in law (the nutrien NUT) calimed the

bacteria in lower intestine was changing, she advised increase in

water and said pains would stop. I thought she was nuts. Not so,

after 3 more days all pains stopped and I haven't felt this good in 15

years. Stay with it... It pays!!!! I have another 35LBS to go by

April and I think I'm going to make it.

Just wanted to say hello and tell you all that while I have

joined this list and purchased the SBD book (and the Good

Carb book), I'm not sure if I will be following it or staying

with a more Atkins-like eating plan. The reason is because

I am a type 2 diabetic, very well controlled with a low to

moderate carb intake.

Until I read the book and learn more, I won't know how

this plan will affect my blood glucose readings. I don't lose

weight on low carb, although I need to. This is the reason

I am checking out the SBD -- it also addresses the fats issue.

Unfortunately although some carbs are better than others,

when looking at the glycemic index, that doesn't always

translate into a slower increase in blood glucose in my body,

nor does it mean there isn't a higher spike. I work hard to

keep my BG under 140 most of the time, because it is the

spikes (and how long they hang around) that begin to

cause problems in a diabetic (all those nasty things).

Is anyone else a diabetic? Or insulin resistant, diagnosed?

I have plenty of insulin; it just doesn't work like it should,

which adds to the weight problem. :-( I weigh about 260,

and am 5'6 " tall. I need to get down to 160, which is a

good weight for me due to my heavy bones (per bone density

tests) and my large breasts (which never shrink, no matter

how much weight I lose).

Thanks for listening.

Cheryl - my dad is diabetic, and he's done very well on SBD, His diabetes is due to weight, and he's lost more than half of what he needs to so far. I went on SBD, because he's done so well (he's not a good dieter usually) and he's already said this will be a lifestyle for him. Good luck!

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl,

I'm TOTALLY with you on the big bone, insulin resistant thing. I also

am 5'6. When I was 13 I was the same Height, same bone density but

weighed 160. I wore a size 10 and my teachers thought I was anorexic

because they kept telling me I was to thin. Even my Doc told me that I

needed to put on about 15 lbs.

My current Doc recommended me to do the SBD because I was insulin

resistant. I've been on the SBD for about 45 days and my BS is totally

under control. I usually run between 79 and 95. There have been times

when I've been down to 72, but that was first thing in the morning.

There was twice when I was 140, but that was because I was stressed.

Just remember that SBD is not Low carb or Low fat.

( hope this helps)

Hi Cheryl,

I am also a type2 diabetic. I was an Atkins -like lowcarber for along time before starting SBD. I also barely lost on lowcarb, but my blood sugar was great. I started SBD about 3 months ago and have lost 10 lbs. I know to some, this doesn't seem like much, but for someone like me who is diabetic and on meds which make weight loss next to impossible, it is a huge success. My last A1C was 5.4% so my doctor decreased my meds by half. All in all, I think this is a great, healthy plan for diabetics and one that you can stick with for a lifetime.

Good luck to you.

Just have to reply to this. When I get a sweet craving I make a kind of shake with skim milk, Splenda and vanilla, pour it over ice and it's great! One of these days I'm going to dig out the blender and make a slush out of it.

I've been learning a lot from the list, I joined Tue when I started SBD. All of you have some great hints!!

I looked for whole grain bread yesterday while we were out shopping, so I'd know where to buy it when I can have it again and found it nowhere! Is anyone on the list from the Mississippi area?? Where do you find whole grain bread? And doesn't someone make a sugar free pudding already made up. I've found the sugar free jello but can find no pudding.

You are going to laugh at what I use for a sweet craving. I have some Splenda sweetened pickles and some cheese. It's a great combo and really stops the cravings.

Hey ,

I do have a small sweet craving but it's not too bad. I think I'll live! But I'm used to having some low carb chocolate *milk* or a low carb bar or something and I don't have any in the house and I don't really think it's allowed but if it keeps me from going totally off the deep end I would eat them.

Hey ,

I do have a small sweet craving but it's not too bad. I think I'll live! But I'm used to having some low carb chocolate *milk* or a low carb bar or something and I don't have any in the house and I don't really think it's allowed but if it keeps me from going totally off the deep end I would eat them.

Here's some ideas:

Roman Meal Whole Wheat

Pepperidge Farm 9 Grain

Pepperidge Farm German Dark

Just look in the ingredients list and make sure the first ingredient is some kind of whole grain. With no fortified, enriched or just wheat flour.
