na diagnose ako yesterday na may hyperthyroidism, mag test ako tomorrow nung thyroid uptake at thyroid scan. safe ba to???

I was diagnosed of hyperthyroidism last June this year.

FT4- 82 (normal range is 10-28.2 pmol/L
TSH- 0.01 (normal range is 0.46-4.68 mIU/L

tapos after less than 2 months of taking methimazole 45mg/day naging ganito na:

FT4- 26.6
TSH- 0.03

Sabi ng doc ko ire-refer niya daw ako sa endo for possible RAI. Naka-schedule ako this September 24 for RAI kaso parang gusto ko mag-back out kasi natatakot ako sa magiging effect niya 10-15 years after ng RAI.

hi sis. i took my RAI when i was 17 years old. After 8 years, naging HYPO na ako. Na-reverse yung Hyperthyroidism ko. And i hate being HYPO. I feel mas mahirap ito. Please do your research before you take RAI. After 2 months, bumaba na agad yung Ft4 mo, that means you're responding to medication. Plus there are alot of ways to ease the Hyper symptoms. One is to take yoga, may pa masahe...listen to relaxing music. eat alot of cabbage. if only i knew na hindi naman kailangan ang RAI, i wouldnt have taken it. Kaso too late.

mga sisses ako i had surgery feb 2008 .  advice lang suggest nyo sa dr nyo magpaultrasound kayo.  kasi ako naka 6months ako ng medication tapos sabi ko sa dr ko parang feeling ko may sumasakal sa kin.  dun lang nya suggest ultrasound.  it turned out na meron akong mga nodules.  and after that biopsy ,  the result is follicular neoplasm.  so there is no choice but to have surgery to make sure of it is really cancer or not.   my endo ordered total thyroidectomy para if in case it is cancer tanggal na lahat.  kasi pag subtotal tapos cancerous opera ulit .   if it is cancerous ,  you have to go rai after ng surgery. 
thanks God mine is benign but I am hypo for life.

and pag pala nag pa rai ang ginagawa ng endo ko pag hypo ka ng husto kasi pag di ganong mataas ang dose may tendency na bumalik.  same with surgery pag di total minsan nag hyper ulit

Hi gurls.... just read the whole forum.... I was diagnosed of Hyperthyroidism last March 2009, after my Birthday, huhu...when i noticed my left eye was not the same as my right eye. the upper part of my eyes became bulged, but not that wide.So i can still hide it by making “Singkit” when talking. My endo told me that my eye will no longer be back to normal even when i started to take a monthly checkup and thorough medication. this oct, i will visit again my endo, but she told me last august that the best way is to undergo a surgery. she never told me regarding the RAI method. But for me, having a surgery is already a major one, and im not that rich to afford it. Does having a RAI can be the other option? i’m 31 years old and still single. But i was afraid to undergo with RAI because of fertility. I want to bear a child of course..so I’m not sure if i will just stock to lifelong medication (but does this healthy to my liver as well?)instead of having a RAI or surgery? But im aware that either way, i will still take a lifelong medication because i will be a hypo. right?

please give me some advice. I wanted to be cure, i want my eye to be back to normal. Because right now, my self esteem is going low to talk and mingle with others. i’m seeing myself alienated already because of my eye.

i was diagnosed before ako magcollege.. pero ako naman meds lang ang tinake ko, at after taking it rigorously,sabi ng doctor ko,normal na sya.. i haven't visited him for years na...

yung meds ko noon, thiamazole, inderal then one for the memory and vitamins pampataba. underweight kase ako non..

[Han Ny]

nung nabasa ko nga tong forum.... i just told myself na....final na... hindi nalang me mguundergo ng surgery or RAI.... continuous medication nalang and PRAYERS.  Khit sabi ni doktora na di na babalik yung mata ko sa normal.... alam ko babalik yun... o kaya baka magpaopera nalang ako sa mata... sa labas... para di sya luwa tingnan, yung left eye ko....Sana gumaling na tyong lahat noh.

[vanillamist]

sis just continue taking your meds religiously.. pag may time ako post din ako ng experience ko dito dahil sa thyroid prob ko.. inde pa ko nakapagpacheck up for years na ren simula nung nagnormal yung tsh ko.. tsh yung sinusukat diba? para malaman yung toxicity ng dugo..

[paulavalerie]

yung sa akin naman, di lumuwa yung mata ko. sabi nung doctor ko, its either after magamot saka luluwa or di na siya luluwa, kasi dapat daw pag naramdaman ko na yung ibang symptoms, kasabay na din siya. yun kang pagkakaintindi ko.

[rlyn27]

sigh ako nga sad eh after six months medication den na ultra sound ulit kaso meron pa talaga nakita so decide na talaga biopsy sobra natakot nga ako eh d pa ako nag pa biposy kasi xpired na yung health nsurance namin dito sa company wait nlang ako sa bago health insurance .. pero kina kabahan talaga ako bakit kaya talaga may mga ganun case.. wahhhh right no keep on praying nlang talaga as n...

[ichiericci]

mga san ko puede makita yung old thread? TIA!

[orangerain]

May thread pala na ganito? I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last December 2008? My doctor just let me take tapdin - he didn't recommend RAI or surgery. Basta inom lang daw ng medicine. My next check up is on November. If okay daw results, he'll stop my medicine. Hopefully normal para I don't have to take meds na.

sobrang hyper? hehe

when asked to undergo RAI first thing i said din eh no..sabi ko regular check up na lang every 2/3 months ang check up ko..latest nun last month...and again may nakita sila kaya i have to go through another check up this oct...sana ok lang ang result..haaaayz

[orangerain]

^ Ganyan din ginawa sa akin. Check up lang palagi. Eventually magnonormalize na rin yang sa iyo. Last check up ko, konti na lang malapit na magnormal. Kaya my doctor is hoping na this October/November, normal na talaga para he can stop the medication.

[eissej]

hi mga sis...

hindi rin ako nag pa RAI and dapat last june pa yun nakasked..hindi na rin ako nakabalik sa endo ko, hindi pa rin ako nakapagpa LAB ulet..pasawaY! anyways, feeling ko mas ok ako ngayon without taking any meds, kase sobrang nag gain ako ng weight ngayon im now 120lbs before i was only 90lbs... and even the palpitations wala na rin..[textspeak!] no. 1 kalaban natin is stress and pag iniisip mo na may sakit ka lalo lang lalala sakit mo. sana nga pag nagpa LAB ako ok ang result...

[dianatan]

Hi mga sis! Malapit na sched ko sa thyroid clinic. "No" talaga sasabihin ko kapag RAI. Masipag naman ako uminom ng meds ko. I hope this will normalize in God's time. 

[Cristal]

yes sis! no to RAI!!!!! there are alot of ways to control your hyperthyroidism and dapat masipag lang uminom ng gamot. you can research a lot of ways to help ease hypothyroid symptoms. its soo had to be hypothyroid! good luck!

[janjohann]

Hi mga sis. ako naman may subclinical hyperthyroidism. t3,t4 normal pero tsh lower. pero after 2 labs, malapit na sya sa normal. hayz. bukas magpapathyroid scan ako. katakot pala talaga RAI.
