had jus posted to you below when i saw this post :)  Feeling better today and guessing because I actually got a nites sleep.  Maybe you can tell me what I'll start feeling like with no thyroid med's.  What exactly does going hypo feel like?  Or what will I notice?  Have to say I am anxious just to get the RAI out of the way and find some sense or normalsy again.  Should I be watching what I am eating?

Glad to see you are feeling better Rachel.  My doctor said he will check my levels each week so we can do the RAI sooner than that 6 wks.  Hope you get to as well.  Seems like we are both on the same schedule.  I'm still not sure why  I had the reaction to cytomel unless it was just a combination of all the med's i took at one time.  My doctor started me on Lexapro ..an antidepressant just so I would be ahead of the game.  You might want to start one as well.  I figured I couldn't hurt.  Will be so happy to just get the RAI done and out of the way!!!

You two women and amazing.  It kind of cool that you two are on the same schedule, it must help to have someone else to go through all of it with.  You also have us, of course!

The worst thing (for me) about the hypohell was the body aches, the coldness, and THE DEPRESSION!  I'm glad you two are on antidepressants.  Mine didn't get me through it so I'm on Celexa now and it's so much better.  Take naps - that helps too.

HUGS to both of you!

Looking back I wasn't in hypohell but enough hypo to mess things up!  It wasn't fun ... why don't they warn us about it .. ?
