*FINALLY* a recent video of someone going through this! I’m hyperactive with Grave’s and am in the process of scheduling my RAI treatment. My mom had the same thyroid problems as me and also did RAI years ago. It makes me pretty anxious but I really don’t like the way I’ve been feeling lately. Surgery is also not an option. I hope you’ll keep us updated on them process! Much luck and love to you! ♥️
LOL I know how you feel when you want to see an up to date video and a follow up on what happened! So my results came back saying that I have graves disease however my doctor didn't want to settle for that so she ran more test and I actually have a brain tumor that's causing my thyroid and hormones to act up. I have updated videos explaining everything and the exact findings. My thyroid scan results ua-cam.com/video/FFibjZL9J_I/v-deo.html & My Brain tumor results and update ua-cam.com/video/R25kMKn9VKA/v-deo.html I hope this helps I know it can be frustrating. Good luck to you!
Love_Taunya I did watch your video about your doctor wanting to do more testing to figure out exactly what was going on, I haven’t watched your videos on the tumor yet but despite that being the reason I’m glad you’re okay! I’ll definitely go watch them. Thanks for replying!
aslo going thru this. I have graves as well and tomorrow is my uptake appointment 😩
I have to start this process today at 8:30am. Glad I found your video. Calmed my nerves about it.
I’m glad it helped! Good luck to you!
Just took the I-123 pill today and got a couple tests done, I go in for imagine tomorrow, so thank you for this!
We are all in this together. Women are STRONG
Wow I was in another person video comments and I click on yours! Never thought I would reach someone with thyroid problems in a comment section! First let me say I have been having thyroid problems since 2010! It has been a real struggle! I have Hashimotos.. its an autoimmune thyroid disease! It makes you hypo, with A WHOLE LOT of other issues! So I can relate! It’s a struggle! I take levothyroxine and liothyroinine manage it! Just want you to know you are not alone! There is not enough thyroid awareness out here! Great video!!
Thank you for reaching out! My thyroid issues are all new to me and hopefully soon I will find out what’s causing it. I had this test done because my doctor thinks it’s Graves’ disease. I’m praying for the best though because I want to start trying to conceive again. Thank you for watching!
May I ask what other symptoms or issues have you had with your Hashimotos??
Girl..I wanted to cry and hug you when I saw this video. I had thyroid cancer so I had a total thyroidectomy and now have to do RAI and the scan. I’m claustrophobic, am terrified of not being able to breath, have an intense gag reflex so my incision bothers that and my neck is so sensitive. This whole experience has been ALL of my fears. All of them. I’m terrified of the scan. I start the RAI on the 15th and have my scan the 20th
Thank you so much for such an informative video. I have to have the same test done on Jan 30th, then go back the next day which is my birthday 😩. I too am highly claustrophobic so I’m glad I got to see exactly what the machine looks like! Thank you!🤗
Praying for ya girl. Hopefully the results yield only good news and you get solid answers so you can keep moving forward🤞🏽🙏🏽. Positive thoughts. 💛
I wish you all the best hun!
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome
Good morning ! I just discovered you this morning as I getting ready to leave for my scan uptake this morning and I wanted to see what it was all about. Thank you for sharing. I just became a new Suby from Maryland . Be blessed
Welcome to the family!!! I hope all was well with your scan!
@@LoveTaunya thank you so much .It wasn’t that bad but I go tomorrow for my second appointment. 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this. It helped calm my nerves a lot. I’m taking this test in two days 😔
You’re welcome the test was a piece of cake! I wish you the best of luck and positive results from the test! Thank you for watching!
Hii have u taken this test can u plz explain what was that the n for what
Thank you for this! Mine is scheduled in 2 weeks and I was scared. Now, not so much ❤️
You're welcome I'm glad you found it helpful! The test is painless and I didn't have any crazy side effects from the pill either. Good luck! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us, tomorrow I will do the uptake scan and I’m so nervous!
Thank you for watching!! The scan isn't bad at all! I hope everything goes well for you!
I hope you are doing well!
What brought me to your video is that I'm in the process of being scheduled for a nuclear medicine scan of my parathyroids and thyroid glands. Nodules / Adenomas were found via ultrasound so they need to assess the extent of the issue. Found that I have hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia through a routine wellness check / blood test, and comparing with previous results. Just waiting on insurance authorization for the cost factor.
I hear what you're saying. MRI's (that's the device that thumps, buzzes, clicks and is very confining) are challenging for long duration scans even if you don't have claustrophobia. My last one to take scans of my brain due to a vision issue I'm dealing with took 2.5 hours to complete. I just kept my eyes closed and tried to focus on meditation techniques. I took some Ativan that the MRI techs supplied me with simply due to the amount of time I was to be in the machine.
When they were done and slid me out of it, I was extremely grateful.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you I'm going for my on the 4th and 5th you eased my stress
Thank you for sharing. I’m claustrophobic as well. The MRI machine is horrible. This test is scary to me as well. So they’ll have to put me to sleep.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have a scan coming up and found your review of it very helpful! Did you have to go on a low iodine diet for this scan?
Thank you for your video, Doing the same at LR VA. Wasn't up when asked (Had my chance, Just ask but didn't) . Pill, Radiation, Family input = check on others for with similar procedure. Your video helps. GREAT you did. Will try to add my experience afterward. :)
I'm glad I could help I hope everything went well for you!
I cannot do an MRI either. I have to be put to sleep after my cancer treatment is over to check my brain
thanks. outside of a really cool video can you tell me which artist that you had in the video that was playing the piano?
I'm so frightened to do RAI and have a scheduled uptake and scan in a little over a week. I've got Graves too but would like to stick to antithyroid drugs like Methiamizole and also look for natural supplements to treat it. I really don't want to do the radioiodine. Pretty scared.
Hi! The test wasn't bad at all, it was completely painless, if anything it just takes up time really lol. My results did confirm that I had Graves, however, my Endo did catch that my other labs were not consistent with a person who has Graves, so she ran additional labs and found out that my Prolactin levels were high. She sent me for an MRI and found out that I have a small brain tumor that's actually causing hormonal imbalances and was the cause of my positive results of this Radioactive Iodine test. I have videos about my who process since this test hopefully it can help you. I will pray for the best for you and I hope you find the perfect treatment for you. Thank you for watching!
@@LoveTaunya I cannot thank you enough for responding to me! It means so much to get a response from someone who is going through something a little similar! I see, so I've decided to kind of stick with Methiamizole. Since you were able to discover the cause of your hormonal imbalances would you suggest that I undergo the uptake and scan? *Sidenote I also have an awful gag reflex and fear taking the pill and being anxious :/
You're welcome! I know how it is to want a response back lol especially when something is new to you. I would follow the instructions of your doctors. I don't know your medical history but if it would make you comfortable maybe ask for additional labs to be done to see if anything else is noticed or going on that may be manifesting to look like Graves. My doctor really took time to go over my medical history and decided to do a full workup on me as if I were a new patient and she was very proactive in sending me for additional test when needed. I am also terrible about taking pills I usually have to push them down with my finger but the pill for this test wasn't that bad.
@@LoveTaunya Thank you so much for responding to me and thank you for all of the insight 😊😊😊😇
That’s me! They always offer me Xanax and I don’t want that mess! I shake so bad during CT scans/MRI. My last one I barely made it thru with headphones they gave me and they let me pick my genre so music played the entire time. But I barelyyyyyyy made it. 😓
Girl! I can't take it! I avoid them at all cost! I thought I would have a little moment today when that machine started moving but I kept it together.
@@LoveTaunya i have mine tomorrow. I am freaking out
Well , I was diagnose in January after a blood test numbers were low TSH so I was diagnose hyperactive. I actually do not have the symptoms
that come with being hyperactive. So more blood test were done just in case the first was not false positive. So, my numbers came back lower than the first they rule out graves, so next step was to get ultrasound they did find nodule's that were large with vascular flow. So , next step was the uptake went through the same that you did still haven't got my results back yet or has my doctor called me so just waiting and hopefully they will be good results and finally figure out what's going on with my thyroid.
Danny, I'm dealing with the same thing, 12 years of going to a primary doctor who would tell me my TSH and T#'s were not low enough for something to be done. Now, my numbers are low enough for the additional testing. I will be taking the pill on Monday for the uptake test, and scanning on Tuesday. The Endocronologist advised I don't have Hoshimoto's d based on test however, believes I have inflammation, and nodule(s). She feels the test will show said results, and is recommending after reading results to come back and have the nucular medicine totally kill off my thyroid at which point, I'll need to take medication(a pill) for the restnif my life. I pray your result cime back soon, and all is okay.
@@sandyoklahomatransient8557 this is what I’m dealing with now! Prayers to you!
I just went in for a scan and once they lowered that machine to my face I started shaking and my heart started pounding fast fast lol. I told the guy to please get me up and I tried laying down three times and ever time he lowered it my anxiety kicked in so now I have to see if I can reschedule because I really need this done
I understand! I do not like getting these types of scans done at all.
Hope you doing well, I have done the same procedure I'm cunsernning about the type of the scan is it CT scan or MRI
C T scan has radiation effects unfortunately 💔
Did you have any precautions to take afterwards ?
I have a question I went into a walk in clinic for a follow up on my thyroid nodule.I got my results on the module still being there and they said it TIRAD. 111 and that I need the thyroid I-123. Is that normal for them to get that done to me instead of a endocrinologist?
How big was the pilll that you had to take?
I have to do this in November.... im terrified
Question for you. Your doctor give you a diet before the test ? (Low iodine diet)
No I didn’t have a special diet
Love_Taunya I’m a little worried because my mother has to go trough that but first she has to do a low iodine diet but my concern is that isn’t that bad for the health in the future? I was reading about it and it can be consequences long term. how do you feel? I know it was long time ago just want to ask you if you feel anything wrong after that? Thank you for your time
I'm worried cuz my sister will have the iodine uptake test and we share the same room. Could I be possibly getting the radiation from her body? and what's the risk on me?
Did she get a hotel room?
@@marbella7305 No, she didn't. I was the one suppose to get a hotel instead cuz she won't. She got upset and screamed at me for being a selfish bad sister for leaving her alone when she wants emotional support so I ended up staying with her on the same room and same house hoping I won't get any radiation.
@@marbella7305 Aside from that she threatened me to go in our separate lives if I'm gonna continue getting the hotel. I was clearly being manipulated by her.
@@emy3915 I don't think they give a large dose for just a scan. Dr told me I need to leave if I lived with 18 year olds and younger only. I hope your over 18.
