Justin,

Don't forget the sour candy to release the iodine from you salivary glands.

I was never on the LID diet before my RAI.  I'm not on meds as of yet, either.  Therefore, I can't answer the question about LID.

I hope all goes well with the RAI.  I did fine.  Just didn't like the isolation.  I had 18 mci's

Feel better Justin.....

Hopefully the nausea and head ache will go away soon.  Only had them for about 2 days.  Since you don't have a thyroid you at least won't have to worry about it swelling up really bad and causing hormone dumps, so I'd say it shouldn't be that big of a deal as long as you get over being sick fast.

Eight years ago on Valentine's Day I had gall bladder surgery.  RAI would have been a lot less painful.  ;)

Good Luck with RAI!

If you experience nausea just call the MD for some anti-nausea medication!  I took tylenol for the Headache and still have headaches and I am 10 days Post RAI!!  Good Luck and remember to drink drink drink to flush that stuff out of you, then flush flush flush it away!  WOW this could be a song I think!

The worst is over.  RAI was anti-climatic for me.  Basically just swallowing a little pill that just happens to make your body set off geiger counters.  You TSH will take a few weeks to get down to a comfortable level most likely.  Get some hard candy to suck on for your saliva glands.
