5 weeks post RAI Mood
Thursday, July 16, 2009 | A Positive story

(same as post to the RAI treatment group)(some of this is a repleat of yesterday - sorry)

So yesterday, I guess more accurately 5 weeks and 2 days post RAI, I came into the office - and I was COLD! It's the first time in over a year that I've been affected by the A/C. I used to have a sweater on almost all of the time - even outside when it was in the 70's...I was almost always cold. That went away - between pregnancy and GD I've been basically hot all the time. I was giddy over it. I checked my heart rate - 74! Woot! I think it's working!

 

I really gave it some thought last night, and realized a lot of the anxiety is gone, the tachycardia, the palpitations, the fine tremors...gone or very much lessened recently. Yay!

 

I'm sleeping a little better. Yay!

 

My relationship with my son has improved - he says I'm less stressed and less angry. Yay!

 

I've begun to gain weight - just a little, but something that doesn't make me happy among all the other happy signs.

 

I'll get my labwork done on Friday or Monday, and see if this is all in my head, or if I'm really no longer (so) hypER.
