Your scheduling seems pretty typical. Your TSH will continue to rise, so beware increasing hypo symptoms. Many people here have reported being severely hypo for a lot longer & have had TSH in the 200's & higher. You'll be fine. Just plan to nap, be nice to yourself, don't make major decisions or tackle new projects, nap more, take time off from work, have help at home, etc. Did I mention napping? I hope you are following the low iodine diet. If you haven't heard of it, go to ThyCa's website http://www.thyca.org & click on Radiation at the left. Nina geiger@...
