That's great news about the iodine treatment. As for the fatigue, what can I say? It is what it is. Just enjoy the sleep... hehe, it's my fave thing to do. You totally must share about Milan fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update/page/2#post-1269922 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 03:19:49 +0000 Anonymous 1269922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many hugs, beautiful Tanya. Wonderful news about your health and that you are back safely from a good trip, seeing your family, and back at work. You have been through a lot of stress physically and emotionally. Your body needs rest and time to recover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update/page/2#post-1269254 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:44:17 +0000 Isabel 1269254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy to read all this !! YAY &nbsp;!!!!!!</p> <p>Tanya, we never hear about the effects of radiation treatments. &nbsp;Mostly just the effects of chemo. &nbsp;But radiation, for some reason, is exhausting. It is somewhat of a mystery since it doesn't effect iron levels or the absorption of vitamins and minerals in any discernible way. &nbsp;&nbsp;But it&nbsp;can be debilitating. It can also take a while to get over completely. The good news is that you will have fewer and shorter periods of feeling exhausted. &nbsp;I suspect that it will happen faster for you since you are so young. &nbsp; Coincidentally, I was talking to a woman who's mom had radiation for breast cancer and she is utterly wiped out. &nbsp; I still struggle with it sometimes. &nbsp;It is very common.</p> <p>You are on your way beautiful lady !!!! &nbsp; : &nbsp;)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update/page/2#post-1268966 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 06:49:29 +0000 LAR101 1268966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishing you well for your upcoming scan. &nbsp;Congrats on the earlier good test results.</p> <p></p> <p>I wanted to second what texstyle said. &nbsp;My mom has similar experience to texstyle. &nbsp;Though your thyroid&nbsp;issues are different than my mom's, many doctors don't treat with T3 combined with T4, only T4,&nbsp;so it's worth mentioning. &nbsp;They might treat with&nbsp;Cytomel (synthetic T4 &amp;&nbsp;T3 combined) if they won't look at Armour (natural &nbsp;T4 &amp;&nbsp;T3 combined)&nbsp;.&nbsp;My mom finds docs who will prescibe the Armour and drops those insistent on synthetic T4&nbsp;(Synthyroid or Levothyroxine (sp?).</p> <p>She has not tried Cytomel (synthetic T4 &amp;&nbsp;T3 combined). &nbsp;One of my mom's nurses has similar issues and prefers the Cytomel over Armour because Armour makes her more anxious. &nbsp;In addition to the fatigue, constipation, fuzzy thinking, pains in her legs, and possibly depression, all plague her without the T3 component. &nbsp;</p> <p>Mary Shomon's books explains more. &nbsp;Shomon is&nbsp;pretty alternative but for some people 'alternative thyroid treatment' is a god-send. &nbsp;</p> <p>Why would your docs let you suffer this killer fatigue if thyroid supplementation would solve it? &nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update/page/2#post-1268609 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:47:12 +0000 Karie 1268609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so good to hear from you, Tanya! I am very happy for your good health news, and hoping the fatigue subsides soon. Sounds like you had a wonderful trip visiting family.

I hope you are able to start slowly rebuilding and getting back to work. Looking forward to see more posts from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update#post-1268220 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:18:41 +0000 texstyle 1268220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy to hear you had a nice trip. And it's great to hear good health news and it does seem like it would likely take quite some time to get your energy back. I wonder if there is any tweaking that can be done with supplements or medications? I take the natural "Armour Thyroid" which has both T3 and T4. I don't know if you are taking anything now but if you are by chance taking Synthyroid or Levithyroxine (sp?) maybe your doc could consider adding&nbsp;Cytomel for the T3 component? Low iron stores&nbsp;(ferritin) is common with thyroid disease and can make a person feel really tired.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-dc-health-update#post-1268099 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:54:48 +0000 Eliza 1268099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear your good news.
