RAI scheduled

Just saw my endo yesterday. I am 3 weeks post op, and he said I had a rapid TSH elevation. I am at 131. He has me doing a full body thyroid scan in the next couple of days, then my RAI next week.

Does a 131 TSH sound high enough for an RAI ?  Then 150mcg of synthroid ?

Thanks

Ummm........yes!!  They told me they want the TSH to be at least 30 to do the RAI.  I'm thinking you're good to go!  Mine was 131 too - but that was 5 weeks post op.  By the time I went in for the RAI, it was at 145.

How are you feeling?  By that point, I was starting to feel pretty rough.  Keep us posted.

I am feeling surprisingly good. Very few symptoms. A little fatigued at night, but no weight gain at all. No other symptoms. Thats why I was surprised at my TSH level.
