Hoping it's the home stretch
Jun. 21st, 2010 10:40 pmI had my first Thyrogen injection today, and other than a few hours of fatigue (cured with sleeping) and slight headache/nausea (cured with aspirin, waiting, orgasm, and food), I'm feeling fine.
Injection #2 tomorrow; radioactive iodine Wednesday; whole-body scan Thursday.
My hope is that on Thursday, they'll look at the scan, find nothing, and send me on my way. Worst-case scenario is that they'll find something and tell me that I need to do 2 weeks more of the LID, combined with 2 weeks off my meds. The off-my-meds part is the part I dread, but if I recall correctly (I'll check my journal from last year), it was only really bad for a week or so last time, so I shall try not to whine too much about it, especially since I don't have to go back to work for a while yet.
