Hey Laura! Your awesomeness has been acknowledged as publicly as I can make it. http://takeitfrommeg.com/2013/07/18/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Ah! I’m so humbled because I think what YOU do is far more awesome. Thank you! 😀
We both rock 🙂
Hi Laura,
I m having my RAI on 4th of February. I got my TT done in November and, as I was diagnosed with pappilary thyroid cancer. Your blog about RAI is really helping me to boost my spirits. I was just concerned that post RAI due you have any dental issues? and also that your salivary glands are back to normal?
I had my first thyrogen injection today and due for another tomorrow. I am still a bit scared about the side effects of RAI. Would you like to share, if you had any? Up till now?
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks 😊
Hetal
Hi Hetal!
I had some intermittent salivary gland issues that resolved after about a year. I haven’t noticed any dental issues. It took a few years to find the right levothyroxine dose but I feel pretty close to normal these days. I stay active and have dialed back the stress in my life to help keep fatigue at bay. I definitely prioritize sleep and self-care.
Good luck!
Laura
