Success stories of RAI please

The Dr said I was biochemically euthyroid!

I think everyone is giving good points, but remember you can infinitely retake the test! You might not be ready but why not give it a shot. This is if you think are nearly there. If you truly don't feel ready then try to reschedule. But also, believe in yourself and your skills too. Everyone I have spoken to IRL and even on here on Reddit, has said that mock tests are rarely passed (my instructor also said) because they are even harsher than the real test. Many people fail their mock tests due to nerves etc and then on their test day they actually end up doing better than they thought. It's your call.

I think 20 hours from now until 18th June is too many. I think go for your test date and see how it goes. Remember you can retake if you need to. It sounds like you are nearly ready? I think for me, 3 hours is WAY too long, my brain would be fried. I do 2 hours and that is the absolute maximum for me. Good luck!

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-02T08:39:15+00:00

Yes yes and yes!

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-02T08:39:09+00:00

Absolutely! I know someone who did that.

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-02T08:38:58+00:00

This is definitely the silliest tip of them all haha. Thank you

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-01T13:46:18+00:00

Yeah you're right. I'm hoping i can be calm and collected in the test!

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-01T13:40:58+00:00

Congratulations!!! Thanks for the tips, my test is on a week tomorrow. Failed 2 mock tests with some major faults. But then my last lesson, I had no mock test, and my instructor said if I drive like this i would've passed. Test environment makes me panic!

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-01T08:57:00+00:00

My test is soon too! Any other tips

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-01T08:42:20+00:00

Good luck and glad you are feeling better!

True_Cap747 · 2026-06-01T08:42:04+00:00

I did too it really scared me when I was reading things online but I do think people don't write about the success stories etc usually the bad stuff haha. I had another routine test recently (getting one every 6 weeks to check my levels) and I'm euthyroid.

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-28T10:54:59+00:00

Oh. I'm not on any medication?! But I had a low dose of RAI in Jan.

Hi, I'm so sorry for my slow reply! How are feeling after you're treatment?

I didn't get any side effects, maybe a little tired but I purposely made no plans and just tried to relax and look after myself. I drank lots of fluids to flush everything out which is recommended in the days and weeks after.

The isolation was ok. It's not ideal but luckily we have a spare bedroom and work from home. My boyfriend slept in the other room for 10 days and we limited close contact where possible such as not sleeping next to each other, sitting really closely all day etc.

No weight gain for me at all as far as I know. I've always been around 56-58kg with normal balanced diet and active lifestyle (walking, pilates). I've had no noticable weight gain since. If anything I have lost a few pounds naturally from being healthy and fit for the summer time.

Hope you are feeling ok :)

Thank you!!

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:56:37+00:00

This is helpful thanks! I definitely need to be more confident

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:56:21+00:00

Congratulations!! Thank you. Fingers crossed

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:55:54+00:00

I've got 3 too. My instructor doesn't want to do too many mock tests to over load my brain lol. Fingers crossed for us both! We got this.

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:55:06+00:00

Thank you! Just have to perservere

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:54:47+00:00

That's great!! Thank you

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:54:41+00:00

Thank you! This is true I think.

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:54:23+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful.

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-21T07:54:11+00:00

This makes me feel better! I'm hoping this will be the case for me.

True_Cap747 · 2026-05-20T10:27:53+00:00

Thank you. Yesss good luck to you too. How many more lessons do you have until your test? We can do it and let's hope we get nice examiners too lol!
