Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Thanks Jody! As always, I really appreciate your input. Who knows? Maybe Joe will be one of the RAI success stories?! I hope so. Don't worry, I'm watching him like a hawk. He thinks I only ask him every day twice a day (at least!) how he's feeling because I'm just asking -- but I'm really monitoring for hypo symptoms! Oh! And the books arrived today! Yay! Hopefully he'll read them too! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Hi Ann, If his FT4 fell this quickly after RAI and they aren't seeing him for another 8 weeks...keep those hypo symptoms handy and watch Joe, then call for labs. His graves may have been very mild and he may descend into hypo hell very quickly. I had the same experience you did today, hubby had a doc appointment, and the doctor didn't want to deal with me...hubby told him to talk to me about everything because I would understand what was going on and tell him in terms he could understand LOL! Hang in there Ann, and watch him. I do hope Joe does well, 10 mcg is a pretty low dose from others I have seen...maybe he will just make it to euthyroid....but don't count on it. The thyroid will continue to die up to a year and maybe longer after RAI.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 I totally agree with ! We all know the kind of brain fog/memory problems we experience with Graves. I wish I had had someone to go with me on my early doctors visits as perhaps I would have retained more of the info at the time.
