Radioactive Iodine

Ok, well they have decided to give me this pill called Radio Active Iodine on November 16. I can't be home for days so it is going to be hard for me. I have been off the thyroid hormone for almost 2 weeks now. They plan to put me back on it after the RAI has run it's course. The purposeof this RAI is to blast away any remaining thyroid cancer cells in my body. I was told I couldn't cross the border during my time away because I would set off the alarms for high levels of radioactivity! Crazy stuff.. Not that I plan to cross a border, but could you imagine?! Getting detained! lol

I feel strange being off the medicine for these 2 weeks. My vision kinda pulsates at times and my limbs fall asleep all the time. I have had a headache, been a little nauseaus and my skin and hair have been acting strange.. Dry in a sense.. I am tired a lot, my joints feel numbish, or tickly sort of. It's hard to explain. Not pain, just strange. I can't wait to get this over with and get back on my Synthroid! This world of thyroid cancer is becoming my reality every day that passes. It's now who I am. I am a person who survived a cancer.
