Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hello Jenn! I apologize if I am repeating what someone else has already posted...around 1998 laws changed about hospital stays. I was hospitalized for 150 mCi in 1997 but not in 2001 or 2002 for the same mCi each time. Hang in there. It will get better. I do use sour candies in the first few days but when the taste buds start dying, nothing tastes good for a few weeks or so and it's no fun to eat. If it is possible and you are really concerned--he could stay elsewhere, but you need his support and help with things until you feel better. You are " hottest " the first two days. I would say just try to stay as far away as possible and have him sleep on the couch if you have no other bedroom. Another option is if you have family (parents) in a larger to space to go stay there. My husband is a nuclear pharmacist and he brings home a geigher counter to measure me. Luckily we have space in the house. I stay on the third floor of the house for about 2 weeks and use a separate bathroom for about 4 weeks. Part of the cautiousness is because he gets some exposure in his job that most other spouses don't--also he knows a lot more than most of us (myself included) about radiation. When I first arrive home hot from an uptake, he can measure me through the floor (from 3rd to 2nd) and knows where I am. For a day or so he does not go directly below me. We have walkie-talkies if I need anything. When I have a low dose for testing scans, I sleep in a separate bedroom (on the same floor) for 3-4 days and use the upstairs bathroom. I don't cook or use real plates/silverware either for that time. He once showed me the meter reading in the bathroom, especially on the toilet and I'm sorry to be a bit graphic--but no matter how neat we think we are, there is splashing and the underside of the seat gets hot. I also use disposable gloves when using the toilet and when blowing my nose or wiping my eyes, etc. to avoid getting my hands hot. Good luck to you! You will feel better soon.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Jenn, That sure is news to me that Texas changed the way they do things. It has been 3 years since my ablation but I did stay in the hospital for 3 days And yes, these doctors do make mistakes. I am scheduled for a whole body scan and the radiology place called to schedule a thyroid scan. Well I questioned the guy and he said that is what was the order. I had to call the dr office and they confirmed the radiologist made a mistake so i had to re-schedule and wait another 5 days for the right scan. 5 more HYPO days! So ask questions if you think something is not right. they do make mistakes. Lynn, Round Top, TX lynnl@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 : My doctor doesn't do routine WBS's either, unless the Tg comes back elevated. However, I am quite sure that with a history of Hashimoto's and Graves' Disease, my Tg results will not be trustworthy, and I plan to demand a hypo scan next summer (the doctor said " You can have one if you want one, " with a look at me as though I was nuts, but so be it). If you want a WBS I don't see why the doctor should have a problem with it -- he's not the one who has to go hypo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Will this be a suppressed or a hi-TSH Tg check? Anyway, I thought monitoring by Tg was only an option if you've had both TT *and* ablation. And Tg antibodies can make the test unreliable too. And wouldn't your " sky-high " iodine come down over time, so you could have ablation & /or a scan? bj need advice > so I spoke with my endo's nurse who informed me of my treatment > plan...I will have my Tg level checked in two months and if this > comes back undetectable, the plan is NOT to schedule WBS/RAI, but > rather to continue to monitor me with Tg levels, ultrasound results, > etc. Remember that I have never had either scan or ablation b/c of > my sky-high iodine content. ....

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hi BJ: Here are my responses to your responses: > Will this be a suppressed or a hi-TSH Tg check? I'm assuming suppressed?-I just had my blood checked and my TSH was 6.7 so my endo increased my Levoxyl from 125 to 150, so 2 mo from now the TSH should be even lower, correct? > Anyway, I thought monitoring by Tg was only an option if you've had both TT *and* ablation. And Tg antibodies can make the test unreliable too. I thought so too!!(thus my concern). I don't even know if TgAb are an issue for me as they weren't even mentioned. I just asked for copies of my lab reports, per the excellent advice from this group. As I said, the nurse's statement to me suggests a possible overreliance on my Tg level: she said that the chance that any thyca in me is a non-Tg secreter is remote, thereby making monitoring of the Tg levels an accurate marker... > And wouldn't your " sky-high " iodine come down over time, so you could have ablation & /or a scan? It actually may take another 6 mo+ for the iodine level to lower. (This is yet another issue for me b/c shouldn't a contrast CT have been contraindicated when suspecting thyca?- as my case illustrates, but my PCP ordered it anyway and of course I didn't know differently at the time.) But the iodine level should certainly lower before next summer, which is when my endo wants to see me next pending the Tg results, so I don't think its a matter of him waiting for my iodine, I think its just his particular protocol, and I'm inclined to disagree with him!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi Janie, Sorry to hear about your Bronchial infection. Hope you are on the mend. My ferritin level was above the normal level at about 380 but my iron was normal. The doc was not concerned about the high ferritin level. My cortisol came down a little on its own a few months ago, but still a little out of normal range (high). I am shuffling around like a 90 year old. I think I must have adrenal fatigue since I have so little energy. I have not taking a DHEA in about 2 months so I just took one about an hour ago. Will see if that helps. > > !!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Absolutely!! I was on Synthroid for 1 1/2 years and still had all the HypoT symptoms. I was tired all the time, had muscle aches, got sick at my stomach a lot, brain fog!! I am now on Armour and I am feeling better, but still have a long ways to go. It has only been a week on Armour. I do remember when I first started Synthroid I was sleepy and yawning, like you mentioned, so I started taking it at night. It seemed to put me to sleep until I got used to it, then I just had the " normal " HypoT symptoms, so it was not much better. How long did you try the Armour? I have a friend that is doing some natural things and has giving up meds all together. Don't know if I could give up my Armour, but I am willing to give some of her suggestions a try. Kathy need advice Hi all, I have been on synthroid for about 2 months now. I started at 25 mcgs and after a month went 50. I tried 75 the day before yesterday and turned hyper. So I took 50 yesterday and since I had a problem last night decided to take nothing today. For the last few weeks I have felt weird in the morning, something like dizzy but just sort of head foggy. Today I am totally wiped out. No energy. Walking like an old man. Weird in the head. I have been yawning for about 2 weeks. Any thoughts? Did anyone on synthroid have these problems? I tried armour first and could not handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 LaCretia, I went to the Healthfood store to buy adrenals. I had a problem. The Solray was inexpensive and had the adrenal glands but also had Licorice. I can't take Licorice because of my blood pressure. Another brand, much more expensive had no Licorice but is said on the bottle the their Adrenal Extract formula will help to INCREASE cortisol. I need my cortisol LOWER not higher. So I buy nothing. I did start up my DHEA after a one month hiatus. I took 12.5mgs. I do feel better today, although it could be a coincidence. So what should I do about the adrenal suppliments?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 , I agree with you. I'm on treatment and can say it can be dangerous. My doctor helps me adjust when needed and monitors things closely. Taking cortisol is hard on the heart especially if you don't need it. It certainly raises the blood pressure which in my case was good since it was so low. I recall the doctor commenting " Your blood pressure looks much better " . So, get tested and if you need it, get a doctor to help you.
