1st Dr visit since RAI

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to say that I had my first Dr visit with

my Endo since my RAI 8 weeks ago. I walked in and read

off the 2 page list of how horrible I still feel.

Well, my tsh is still 27 and I have been on .137 of

Levoxyl since the RAI. He increased my levoxyl to .175

(is that a lot?) and he put me on cytomel .25 twice a

day. I do feel better. I am not hurting until around

3:00 in the afternoon when before I was aching by

11:00am. I also asked him about the weight gain...CAN

MY BUTT EXPAND MUCH MORE?????????

His reply was that anything I consume over 500

calories per day will stay on my body. Is he for

real???? That the weight is mine to keep until my

levels are correct then I will have to work to get it

all off. Oh well.....

The body scan showed that the cancer had spread to the

entire thyroid bed, right lymph node and salivary

gland. He said I will get another scan in the spring

and if it is still there then I will get another does

of RAI..probably 200.

Anyway...that is my update. :0)
