What, 208 to 145 in 3 months?  But... on the other side of it was 115 to 150 in 3 months when I first got sick, thanks to the prednisone.

I'll tell ya one thing. The double-flush routine has gotten old fast. The toilets here at work take forever to refill, so I have to stand around like a dope before I can flush again.

It sure is.
The iodine stays pretty local to the thyroid, since it's pretty much the only part of our body that uses iodine to any major degree. It typically doesn't even effect the muscles, skin, etc surrounding the thyroid.
Can you imagine being a doc and trying this treatment for the first time? Yikes!

And your heart isn't really happy consistantly racing, and your eyes bug out, too. It looks really gross and it's irreversable. 
I think you'll do just fine, Kim. You've got a great attitude!

I sure did enjoy being thin all those years before they diagnosed and started treating me though.

Good luck Kim, I say just go through a security checkpoint and make someone's day as they try to figure out why/what's setting off the alarm!
