I have since rai put on another 3 stone which now means i need to lose at least 9 stone!! how on earth i am going to do that i dont know.
All i do know is my life before rai was hell, since rai its been a struggle but im getting there and now feel better than i have in a long time.
I had years of being on carbimazole that made me ache so i stopped taking them much to my gps disgust last september, also levothyroxine which i was convinced were making me feel ill and again to my docs disgust i stopped in october and started self medicating with t3 after reading some amazing stories and with great support and guidance from the thyroid patients advocacy.
Within 4 weeks of me having rai i became hypo for the 1st time ever my tsh was 38 and i felt dreadful so so tired and weak, my tsh stayed at 38 for 6 months until i started on levothyronine (t3) then after a month it was at 28 and 6 weeks later its 9.2 i need to get it as close to 0 as i can and after proving to my gp that t3 works he now prescribes it for me so that was a great result, i think though he had had enough of me going armed with a load of information about t3 every time i had an appointment.
Now 9 months later i have no brain fog, thats completely gone, i laugh again, have my sense of humour back, loving playing with my girls and slowly my energy is returning.
3 months ago i wished i had never had rai now im so pleased i did, its easier to treat hypo than hyper, its been a struggle but im getting there and im so happy to be alive.
