antibodies w/clean scan

[Guest guest]

Good morning all,

Yesterday I underwent a RAI scan after 7 weeks hypo and it was clean! Great

news until the nuclear doctor reminded me about the presence of antibodies and

waiting to see what my Tg level is since it has been only one week since the

blood was drawn. I have not taken any T4 yet (although I did take one 25 mg T3

last night) so should I request that another Tg and Tg antibody test be done

since my TSH level was only 35 at the time of testing or does that make any

difference? The tests requested pre-scan were for TSH, T4, Tg and calcium.

I would greatly appreciate any information about the RAI stun effect, clean

RAI scans with the presence of antibodies and also how to go about requesting

that my scan info and blood tests be sent to one of the list doctors for a

second opinion. I just want to be sure that I truly am " clean " while still

hypo so that if anything needs to be tested it can be. I would like to add that

I didn't cheat while on the LID diet the week before the test although I am no

longer on it.

Thanks for all of your help.
