(chat) Cytomel before Scan and RAI

May 3, 2001

Well you got that sort of right, the Cytomel will help with the hypo symptoms

all the way up to two weeks prior to your scan and RAI. Then you have to stop

that too. Yes I suffered terribly nine weeks hypo, then after the RAI, and

because of this group, I contacted my doctor and told him I wanted Cytomel to

help with this hyponess, he agreed. Now that I see a Endocrinologist, I found

out I could have been on Cytomel all the way up until two weeks before my scan

and RAI and my hypo symptoms would have been a lot shorter, not necessarily

lighter, just less time. So instead of six weeks no synthroid and major hypo

symptoms I only have to have two weeks or less of major hypo symptoms.

I'm planning on no synthroid for the six weeks prior to my next scan and going

on cytomel for a month and then off for the two weeks prior to my next scan!

Ticks you off doesn't it, that no one (medically related to your case) bothered

to tell you, that you didn't have to suffer so much! You understood

perfectly...
