My time is here and I am so excited.  

Anyone know if I will feel the Synthroid right away if I start on Saturday?

You won't feel it right away but it won't take too long. I think it took me 8 days to start feeling better and by day 13 I felt back to normal.  Can you tell I was excited to be back on my meds too?!!  I was so excited to take my medicine I actually set my alarm for 5am and skipped to the bathroom!

Awesome!!!  I am so glad they were able to get you back in so quickly - that is great news!!!!

I think Synthroid builds up in your body, but I'm still betting you will be feeling better just knowing you have it!  

Can't wait to hear about your RAI - good luck!

Go kick some Cancer Butt, Tricia!!!

No idea about the meds, but I'll bet just knowing you have Thyroid hormone in your body will give you a nice placebo effect until the real deal kicks in :)
