Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi Anne..... I'm a nurse. I just had my first RAI on June 16. (hopefully, my last) My TT was 4-25-03, so I have not been regulated on my Synthroid as yet. After 4 weeks post RAI I'm still very tired. Some days are better than others, but without having a crystal ball, you just have to go with the " flow " . I would be hard pressed to be working right now as a nurse. I'm currently on 125 mcg of Synthroid. I'm sure that isn't enough. I would definitely take 2 weeks off before and after your scan. I would, also, explain to your hospital that you might need more time off. The hospital needs to realize that YMMV. I know they want to know now, but in your case that isn't feasible. They will just have to work with you. There is the issue of liability for you and the hospital if you go back too soon. Believe me, I DO know how hospitals are about nurse's work schedules. You didn't say if you work full time? or 12 hour shifts? Good luck, Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
