Oh I am so sorry! I will say that sometimes I will have a food that does not agree with me and the meds. Foods I used to have but now can't. I found french onion dip makes me very ill. Also Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning. Then last night I got a brownie that I have had many times and became quite ill and am still recovering today. There seems to be (for me) ingredients in some foods that react badly to the meds. Not sure if others have experienced this, but I have way too many times. Then I avoid that food and all is fine until I discover a new food that reacts badly.

I hope you feel better soon. Almost to the end!!!!!

Hi Jeri,

Your test results suggest some hyperthyroidism. It's not dramatic but get the tests repeated at EOT. Those levels shouldn't cause any symptoms. Cheers.

i got similar issues...2 more shots left, and last 2 were pretty unpleasent...hair is falling out like never before, still loosing weight and some new strange pains occuring (left side uppet stomach). Haven't checked thyroid levels, but i am afraid my thermoregulation ain't best either. Waiting for therapy to end, so i can schedule a full body/blood exam to check what is happening.

Just got results back from follow-up thyroid tests. Hair falling out, seriously in hand fulls can now see scalp and I've lost 6 lbs this week alone. I have four more shots left, this week was bad. Not sure if I had food poisoning or stomach flu but didn't get out of bed for 2 1/2 days. Couldn't keep anything down. Looked online and saw something called thyroid storm really hope that's not what this sickness is.

I'm concerned!

Here are my results from follow-up tests.

T3 uptake 43

T4 total 17.7 H

TSH 0.02 L

Free Thyroxine Index 7.6 H

Thought please!
