RAI Treatment

scaredandconfused84
Been a while since my last post. Been on the RAI diet. I get a test dose on Monday. I was just wondering if it is normal to be experiencing extreme fatigue, like I could sleep all day long. This diet is driving me crazy and no thyroid medication. Also was wondering if anyone here has had the treatment and could tell me what I could expect.

The fatigue is because you are off your thyroid meds.  I haven't had the treatment, but hopefully someone who has will post soon.  Good luck!
