Just how bad

Can anyone share the symptoms they had when they prepared to get their RAI treatment? I had a full TT in September and I get off cytomel and begin my LID on Monday. I am scheduled to get my RAI treatment Nov 10th and intended to work until then. I am starting to think I may have to re-think my plan. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

seems it really varies from person to person
I worked during that time and found it was mainly ok. I was tired more than usual and I had some funky vision problems where my eyes couldn't always track well together. No other major complaints. I didn't drive at all - very important! I was able to walk to work. I suppose it may also depend on what type of job you have. I was working largely on my own, at a desk, but if your job is more physical or involves more interaction that might be a bit more challenging. Bottom line is it seems hard to predict - not a great answer, huh?! I would say follow the plan you've set out for yourself and just see how it goes.0 -
Just how bad
I did not have to stop my medication before RAI. My doctor ordered Thyrogen injections before my scan and treatment doses. If you start to have problems and can't function, you might consider asking your doctor about the injections or take some time off of work. Because I work with people (I am in the Medical field) and I drive more than thirty miles to work I wasn't able to stop my medications. Even though I have the B-RAF mutation gene I was still able to uptake the RAI with the Thyrogen injections.0 -
