Going Hypo
So I have had a couple of really good days and have tried to stay busy getting things done in preparation for the days I'm not going to be feeling so good. Well, today it has caught up to me. I know that every day I will be getting a little worse. The doctor has drawn it out for me and I should just expect it. But I couldn't help but think maybe I would be different. Wishful thinking. I slept almost 12 hours last night and still woke up with a huge headache, but the worst thing was my calves! They have constant cramps in them. My neck also hurts. This is all part of going "Hypo" thyroid, which is the whole purpose of going off of my medication. So hard to even walk because my calves hurt so bad. Dr. Davies told me I would feel bad and then much worse. He even drew me a chart. If I can figure out how to post this I will. I am expected to be at my very lowest right around my I-131 (name of the Radioactive Iodine) date of April 10th. Probably a whole week or so there.
