3 months after RAI...Medication Questions

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had my RAI done about 3 months ago and just 2 weeks ago my levels;

although looking more toward to hypo range of TSH 4.81 and ft4 .77,

today, 2 weeks later the TSH is 85.050 and the ft4 is .50.

He is starting me on synthroid at 100 mcg. Is this a normal dosage? I

thought he was going to start me out on a lower dosage, at least that

is what I thought he said.

My weight has been a serious issue and was at 81 pounds, I managed to

gain up to around 98 almost 100 pounds but I am afraid that when I

start taking it, that it will cause me to have to same feeling that I

had when I was hyperthyoid.

I am so afraid it will cause me to loose the weight I have gained.

Can someone please give me input on this?

I see him in 4 weeks and have to get blood tested a few days before I

see him so he can see what the level is then.

Will it make you feel really anxious? I am already a nervous person

but I have to tell you that I have felt like " jet lag 10 time over "

lately. Extremely fatigued.

I start in the morning so he said to take it on an empty stomach and

nothing to eat or other medications until after one hour.

Thanks

Vicky
