Almost done!

I really meant to write evreryday this week, but I'm a major slacker when it comes to blogging. I had my 2 TSH injections yesterday and today, and the worst of the check-up process is finally over! The first shot really burned, and my arm is still sore. The second shot, which I had today, didn't really burn it all.

I took a 3 hour nap yesterday, and a 10 minute nap today. Tomorrow, I go in for blood work & to get the RAI. Hopefully everything is going to go well, and nothing is abnormal. I found out that the coconut milk that I had had a few times I probably shouldn't have had, which is making me nervous. We'll find out in a couple days.

I'll update you on Friday after my scan!

The Important Body Scan

This morning I went in for my total body scan to see how the RAI is working.

I went right in, go the whole scan done, the neck scan, and went to wait. They said they wanted a chest picture done, so I went back and had to be put back under the machine to get a picture of my chest. I guess there was a couple of white spots on the total body scan, so they wanted to be sure there was nothing there.

After, I went back & spoke with the resident. The scan shows that the remaining thyroid tissue is taking in the RAI nicely! In 3-4 weeks, the tissue should be completely killed off! I'm so happy that this is working, and I can pretty much get past this!

I will need to be doing blood work every 6 weeks, mostly for my TSH & T4 levels for my medicine, and I'll have to repeat this scan (not the major dose week, just the first dose week) every 9-12 months.

For now, I won't update too much, definitely not until after the wedding. Just on adjustments in medicine & any new information.
