The exact rules will depend on the hospital. Some are stricter than others. Isolation is not the same as imprisonment, he needs to keep his distance, not be shut away. What are your circumstances? What is his home situation? Why is he not doing his own research? It would probably do him good. Ian > Ian, > How long were they in isolation. I've heard you go home and stay in > isolation.

It is the time you are off all meds prior to RAI and afterwards until your meds start kicking in again. This is one of those times this group says YMMV. (your mileage may vary) For me it was no more than some increase fatigue. I needed an afternoon nap for a few days after RAI. Otherwise I really felt okay. Other people don't fare as well and have trouble thinking, and other problems. The best thing you can do is get as much information as you can.

Also I know that even if you are pregnant at the time that they diagnose the thy ca. you can wait to have the baby and even breastfeed for a while . Yes thy ca geow very slow so is ok if you have to wait. The hypo stage is the period when you tsh is going high (this has to go al least to 40 so you can get the RAI treatment) but is different for everybody. I have read about people who get very hypo and feel very tired, muscle aches, not energy, problems driving...etc. In my case I guess that I have been hypo for a long time ( I mean years) but nobody know that was my thyroid. So when the Dr told me how I was going to feel I was expecting feel very very bad.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Sandy: I am Jim (48) and I am from PEI. I had my TT in Halifax in late August 2001 and my first RAI in Charlottetown in late October 2001. The Doctors usually wait about 8 weeks after surgery before they do the RAI to ensure that the naturally produced thyroid horomone in your body has been depleted. So 8 weeks or longer before surgery and RAI is not unusual. The length of time that you have described between surgery and your RAI treatment should not affect your long term recovery. I will leave the " hypo hell " explanation to one of the others on the server who are much better at describing its effects. Good luck, Jim New member Hi, My name is Sandy and I am new to this group.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 P.S.: I think when women don't have bad symptoms from their fibroids, they may take the wait and see approach. I took the wait and see with b/c pills approach and eventually had to have an embolization. I was a little concerned when 1st diagnosed w/fibroids, but when I found out they weren't cancerous, I was relieved and then able to decide what to do about the fibroids. For me they were a nuisance at 1st, but then as time went on, they diminished my quality of life and something had to be done. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hello Pam, I just read your e-mail and can relate. I just found out 3 days ago I have a fibroid in the size of 9 cm by 8. I am 33 years old. I got very upset and worried. My Gym recommended me also to have myo, or to take my uterus out. It is all new to me. I am afraid and confused myself. I guess the next step is to talk to people and see what they went through. Be strong. I know I am trying to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hi Pam, Welcome to the group :-) You are right in seeking more opinions. The birth control pills should help regulate the bleeding, but that's about it. The pressure, constipation & frequent urination are because of the size of your uterus pressing against your bladder, back etc. Birth control is not going to change the size of your fibroid. I've been on birth control for about 15 years because of heavy, painful periods and it has definitely helped. For the past 2 years however I've had breakthrough bleeding 1-2 times a month in addition to my period and so just this past month I was diagnosed with fibroids. My uterus is about the size of a 5 month pregnancy, and is beginning to press in on my bladder. So far I've been fortunate enough not to have problems with urination. At least your doctor didn't recommend hysterectomy like many have (the first gyn I went to did). From what I have read women have become pregnant after myo's, although you may have to have a c-section because your uterus has been weakened. Your doctor may not be comfortable with doing them. There may be other options out there for you as well, so don't give up the fight! Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hi Pam I'm 26 years old and I also want to have children in a few years. My fibroids are submucosal so I guess the treatment is a little different. I was on BCP since I was 17 because of heavy bleeding, but I don't know if I had fibroids then. When I was diagnosed with fibroids, my doctor put me on BCP continuously so I never took the placebos and I wasn't supposed to have bleeding. I still had some bleeding that got progressively worse. My fibroids have always grown a lot while I was on BCP but I don't know if that was because of the pills or if they would have grown anyway. Because mine are a different kind, I had hysteroscopic resections and didn't have to have an abdominal incision. I had this done 4 times and the fibroids have always grown back right away. I don't think my doctor removed all of the fibroid because she said it was difficult to remove without possibly rupturing my uterus. Now my doctor has suggested a Mirena IUD. It releases progesterine and sometimes stops fibroids from growing and from what I've read has even helped to shrink them. Right now I'm on Lupron to reduce the size of fibroids so the IUD can be inserted. It seems like our options are kind of limited if we want to have children later on. It seems like a lot of women do have children after the myo procedure without problems. It probably wouldn't hurt to try the BCP first since that is less invasive. Make sure you have regular ultrasounds to make sure the fibroids aren't growing while you're on the pills. Good luck. Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Pam, I did the birth control thing for my fibroids. I had been on them already, but went to another stronger brand. That helped for a whole, but eventually my symptoms got out of control and I had an embolization. I know some women are helped by them, but they don't get rid of the fibroids.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Dear Fibroidian Sisters, This may piss a few of you off (sorry), but I feel it needs to be said. TICK, TICK, TICK...... Everytime I read a post that someone in their early 30s with fibroids say, " I want to have kids SOMEDAY " , I can't help but think, " NOW is the time girlfriend " . I've read posts about fibroids and miscarriages. Also about myos and c-sections. I KNOW from experience that a miscarriage is NO FUN (mine was not fibroid related). And if that does happen, recovery time is required before trying again. You may think 40 is the age to have kids, but believe me, the 40's are better for teenagers than diapers....... I'm sure you all have a GOOD reasons for waiting to have kids, but we're not only fighting the biological clock, we also have " monsters " that fit into the equation. Please don't wait till it's too late....... oke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 oke, I have to admit .... I'm one who was offended by this note. I've sat here internally debating this for a few minutes, and finally decided that I just had to respond. I'm sure you offered this comment with the best intentions. The science is pretty clear on the evidence re: issues involved with childbearing in later years. But for those of us who truly have wanted to have children before reaching our late 30s, yet haven't met the right man for marriage, reminding us about the biological clock ticking away is a lot like rubbing salt in the wound. When I was in my early to mid 20s, I had a personal goal of having my first child no later than age 30. Well, here I am at age 39, staring the big 4-0 in the face later this year, and still maintaining my goal (and hope) of marrying and bearing at least one child. Visiting the local sperm bank isn't an option that appeals to me. So .... I'm left to do what's in my control to find the right man for me in what often seems to be an ever-dwindling population of qualified prospects (because I refuse to " settle " simply to have children, or simply to be married). So .... I'm not responding to berate you for posting your comment, but really to ask for a bit of compassion for those of us single women who desire marriage and children yet haven't made it there yet ... and not because we've been delaying these life events, but because we haven't yet been fortunate enough to have those cards dealt to us. > Dear Fibroidian Sisters, > > This may piss a few of you off (sorry), but I feel it needs to be said. > > TICK, TICK, TICK...... > > Everytime I read a post that someone in their early 30s with fibroids > say, " I want to have kids SOMEDAY " , I can't help but think, " NOW is the > time girlfriend " .

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 , Point well taken. I guess my comment was not too compassionate. Sorry. I just wanted to shake up the girls who have put off kids due to career, or can't afford it right now, or are in the wait and see mode with their fibroids. My point is, don't " wait and see " too long. Look into that myo. The wait and see thing is fine for us nearing menopause, but maybe not for you still looking to have kids. oke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
