Fomerly known as 2tiredofworrying..Question!

I have not posted on any of these sites in a pretty good while now. I used to be 2tiredofworrying or Lil_Dollie 123 but I have changed that now LOL!! Finally!! I was diagnosed with Graves disease back in January. I had RAI in May and 3 months later I finally went hypo!! YEAH!! Well, they started me off at 100 mgs of Synthroid and now I am up to 175. My last blood work my TSH was 45.66 and I would hate to know what my first blood draw was when I was first diagnosed hypo. I believe it was much higher. Well, I have been trying to find out what the MSN group address was since I lost it. I had my internet cut off for a while and when I got it turned back on it was wiped out of my search list. Just wanted to let everyone know what had happened and that RAI worked for me and I feel great!! There for a while though I got a little down and depressed because I thought it wasn't going to work but all of a sudden, I plummeted very fast!! I am so glad that I got through it all and now I am just working on getting my levels back to normal on Synthroid. Taking that one small pill a day is so much better than having to take that Methimazole! It has been a long journey, but it sure is going by very fast! I can't believe it has almost been a year now that I was diagnosed.  So to everyone who is going through this, believe me there is light at the end of this long long tunnel! Nothing to worry about!
