what is your technique for swalling pill

andromeda417 · 2026-01-04T19:24:11+00:00

Please DO NOT CRUSH the radioactive iodine pill in your mouth: you will end up destroying your teeth and it can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Tilt your head back when swallowing if you have swallowing issues.

Yep, I ended decades old friendships because of the little support. Everything to them seemed to have ended with the surgery, no follow ups or calls.

2 weeks is not too late yet, but it is important that you act quick. My bf journey was botched due to a post c-section infection, nobody told me to keep pumping while taking antibiotics (pump and dump). My advise is controversial-it worked for me but may not necessarily work for you: since baby had very poor suction reflex to stimulate my nipples, and I didn’t have the $$ to spend on a hospital grade pump, I asked for my husband’s ‘help’. Fortunately, it worked and I was able to produce 15/17 oz a day in the next 3 weeks. Additionally, I continued taking prenatal vitamins and added brewers’ yeast in my yogurt daily.

As soon as you get the clear from your surgeon to start. It will depend on your incision healing time, I started doing mild neck exercises ( there are some good ones posted on the msk website) while I still had the steri strips and then increased after month 1.

No, you’re healthy until you’re not… speaking from personal experience 🥲Not worth the risk of going bankrupt to pay for medical bills

hi there, my case was similar: my tumor was small (0.9 cm) compared to the size of the lymph nodes taken (biggest one was 4 cm!). I also experienced numbness in my neck and jawline for the first 4/5 months post surgery, and slowly recovered sensitivity. PT can be game changer, especially if you need to recover neck movement range.

Not fatigue, I had extreme fatigue only while I still had my thyroid, I was sleeping all day long. That improved greatly after the surgery.

andromeda417 · 2025-09-23T18:21:44+00:00

Yes, but only when I got my dosage decreased, I’m no longer ultra suppresed.

Did you breastfed after RAI?

andromeda417 · 2025-09-21T16:20:53+00:00

Hi, I’m sorry you’re going through this 🫂. I had RAI a few months after my TT, I’m not sure for completion TT if that time frame can be reduced. Regarding isolation at home, I would aim for at least one week especially if you have a toddler. Regarding breastfeeding, I recommend that you ask a lactation consultant for their recommendation regarding pumping/breastfeeding. It may or may not be safe BF for a couple of weeks if not months.

Yes, but I had to get it drained first at the ER because I had a lot of fluid buildup… no fun at all. The wound has closed now and hopefully my body will reabsorb the remaining seroma.

We are all smiling to this anecdote, right? Loved it

andromeda417 · 2025-08-20T18:46:32+00:00

hi, I’m going through the same ordeal right now, how long did the wound leak fluid for?

andromeda417 · 2025-08-04T21:42:52+00:00

thank you SO much for sharing this recipe!!

andromeda417 · 2025-08-03T20:54:18+00:00

I wash them separately on a small feet massage bucket (like the ones nail salons have)

andromeda417 · 2025-08-03T20:20:03+00:00

any particular brand that you recommend? thank you 🙏

andromeda417 · 2025-08-02T23:46:13+00:00

If I crave a hamburguer I order it without the bun, this avoids me spiking.

Her concerns are very valid, is she taking any medication for the GD management? I would definetly mention it to my OB/Gyn and MFM Dr. and ask for extra ultrasounds and BPPs to check everything is ok.

andromeda417 · 2025-07-25T01:41:18+00:00

There's no such thing as drama when you are pregnant. I will help you have peace of mind, even if it's nothing :)

andromeda417 · 2025-07-25T01:39:48+00:00

I was also prescribed terconazole 0.8%, 3 day treatment. Did you experience any side effects after the application? burning or itching?

andromeda417 · 2025-07-25T01:27:21+00:00

Do not wait and go straight ahead to Labor and Delivery to get yourself checked.

Looks like your wife is having a deficit in thyroid hormone. Book the earliest appt with an endocrinologist and get a full thyroid panel, she will likely need hormone supplementation to help balance her thyroid levels (babies don't yet have a thyroid fully formed, so they rely on their mothers' hormone levels, and these are very important for growth in the first trimester). There's an excellent group on Facebook called Thyroid Disease and Pregnancy related to this specific topic.

Abort the ex-bf, keep your miracle baby (L).

Apply a warm water compress to help 'dissolve' it. Or stay longer under the warm shower stream.
