It depends.

I was working half days when my TSH was 120.

When I had RAI my TSH was 42, and I couldn't drive very well. My wife had to take me to the appointment, and then try not to get contaminated getting me home. I was pretty sick. Plus, it was a 100 mile drive.

It depends on what your body has already been through.
You may not get too ill before your TSH hits a level the Endo says is good. 30 is what they shoot for, I think.

You should not plan on taking care of the kids, or cooking the meals. Plan on laying in bed for a few days, and if it is better than that, good for you!
