I know you had a lot of nausea leading up to rai, of course not surprising considering how high your tsh was! Just wondering if it resolved after you went on meds. I know my tsh is no where near where yours was (it was only 7 a couple of weeks ago) but since rai I've had incredible nausea and I'm really hoping when I start synthroid at the end of the week it will resolve itself. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, they explained the machine and what it does to me while they were doing the scan as well.  Amazing, isn't it?  Thank goodness they know what they're doing!!  I couldn't help but think of how thorough they are.  I had more scans and tests than I've ever had in my whole 40 years, I swear!!  

I'm glad you got something for the nausea.  It's awful, isn't it?  I let it go for about a week and a half and couldn't stand it anymore.  Thank goodness one of my friends at work pushed me to call them, or I probably would have just waited it out.  I felt so weak because I wasn't eating or drinking, but I just couldn't!  I'm sure that wouldn't have helped me going into the RAI.  

You're almost done!!  That's great news.  I'm sure you're ready to see your kids.  I know that would have driven me crazy.  Hopefully they'll cut you loose today!

I get my WBS tomorrow and then they are going to run a geiger counter over my neck to see if I'm safe to be around my kids again. They are very intense on the safety issue but I still think the geiger counter idea is kind of funny. I had them call in some zofran today which is helping and I start meds tomorrow.

If it gets bad enough, have them call something in.  It's worth it!!  How many days left of isolation do you have?

you know what, I just saw your post on the thread about your niece which just answered my question. So thanks anyway!
