Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 I have to be on the low iodine diet for two weeks. I will be hypo during this time, and wonder how that will affect me. How long after RAI can you start on synthroid and how long does it take to feel goood again. I am going to borrow a bread machine. Thanks for the advice.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Tina, I just got off the low iodine diet on the 25th after being on it for 2 weeks. The diet will not affect you while you are on it. I ate more healthy food while on it than before because everything was prepared fresh. I started back on my Synthroid right away again after my endo called me about the results of my body scan. But when I had the RAI treatment though before, it took me longer (about 5 months) before I felt good again. The RAI made me very tired for a few months. The doctor will let you know. I did not need the RAI treatment this time. But even without it, it will take 6-8 weeks to feel better after starting back on synthroid. YMMV Good luck with your upcoming scan. Joan tt 11/95 pap.ca. RAI x 3 = 489 mCi's total Synthroid .125 mg Re: (unknown) I have to be on the low iodine diet for two weeks. I will be hypo during this time, and wonder how that will affect me.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hi Laurel, I believe it is definitely a result of RAI. I had it too, very painful. Mine stopped about a year after RAI, but it still flares up occassionally. Good luck getting any doctor to admit that it is due to RAI. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 I also had it also, took about a year to clear up, could get no one to admit to it. Finally my nuclear doctor told me that the higher doses can cause some scarring of gland, which causes the narrowing. Couldn't find any documentation. It is a BIG secret!!!

Hi Joan, this question is more about my mom.She has had for many years(probably about 20 years or more) what seems to be your saliva gland problem. if she eats or even thinks about something sour a lump swells up on the side of her neck and is very painful.She hasn't seen a Dr. about it, just waits for it to go down. Her mom and sister ,and now me have thyroid problems ..I'm worried about her but she absolutely hates Doctors. With everything that I have gone through lately it probably scares her even more. Did the doctors say it was linked to your thyroid problems? I know she needs to go to the Dr. but I don't think it will be under her own willpower. in WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 anne, Just a short note to let you know that I'm a newbie too, just four weeks now. This group is amazing, every time I go to a doctor's appointment they are impressed with the questions that I have and the effort I've put in trying to understand the process. Keep reading the posts and also check out the archives, which are also very informative. Keep asking questions, they are such helpful and supportive folks! Take care, /N.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 With any surgery there is risk, but which are you more scared about your stomach cut and intestines made into an " Y " or dieing at a young age, dieing from being over weight, not being able to breath and walk, have a good nites sleep, high blood pressure, knee's hurting and the list is endless. So my personally thoughts are: I would much rather have my stomach cut and intestines made in to " Y " , " Y " eqauls YES I'm going to live alot long with possible less complications!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 You will make it girl have faith (unknown) Hi Gang! To all of you who responding to my desperate cry for help in getting my eating under control, I'd like to say THANK YOU!!! I apologize for taking so long to reply, but my home computer died on me and at work I was so busy that I wasn't able to always log in. Also, I received so MANY replies that my email account ran out of space and some of the correspondence, I'm sure, bounced back to the sender. You guys have no idea how much I treasure your words and willingness to share, in my case, time and time again. I will be responding directly to those of you who asked questions, hopefully, by the weekend. The advice I received was, as usual, just what I needed to hear! :)My eating has gotten considerably better, and so has my outlook. Five of the 6-8 pounds I had put on are now gone, whew! Now I'm working on getting the others off (I still have 40 pounds to go). I'm hoping that by my 2 year anniversary (Nov. 21), I will be at goal weight. Again, thank you all! in Ohio Signature-- If you feel you have to hit, then it's time to quit! Domestic violence is no joke! Get help.

I sat on a curb yesterday (took all my nieces and nephews to see MIB2 and fit in one seat with NO OVERHANG!!!) and got up by myself. Then, when we got home, I was watching Jeff (nephew) play with his dog from my first breeding (Wyatt) and I got DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND WRESTLED WITH WYATT, and then GOT UP ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 , Who is doing your surgery and what type? How long have you been researching GBS? I had a surgery date of June 12th. When they did my pre op they found that I had seven to eight superficial ulcers that had to be treated and healed before surgery. I was upset but it was for the best. At least they did my endoscopy and found out that I had them before opening me up. The surgeon said I must have been playing down the pain. I have a high pain tolerance so that is why I didn't notice the pain. Of course I did notice after they told me, lol. My surgeon is moving to Louisiana and I opted to stay with the new surgeon so he will be giving me a date when I see him on the 22nd in Little Rock. I shall wait and see what I get when I meet him. He has a good reputation and is well liked. I have been approved so it should not take long for him to give me a date. Please feel free to write me at my e-mail address, maybe we can support one another. I have two close friends who have had the surgery and they are a great support system. I am 47, happily married with five children, 19,17,9, 8 and 8. I weigh 297, my BMI is 49.9, I'm 5.5 " and I need to lose 170 pounds. I have had high blood pressure for the past two years so that is why I started researching WLS. My e-mail address is graydowney@....
