I had an excellent meeting with nuclear medicine this week to discuss my RAI therapy. Much to my relief he didn’t recommend I follow a low iodine diet prior to treatment. I was just wondering if anybody else has been told this?

i was also told once I have had the 2 thryogen injectiosn I would have the most expensive bottom in my area!

Heya Runner,

There's a debate in the medical community over whether or not LID actually makes a difference or not. My team were of the opinion that just in case it does make a difference, might as well do it. In the UK, if you're an omnivore, LID is pretty easy to follow these days. I barely had to change anything in my diet the last time I did it.

And yup, thyrogen isn't cheap. Lol. But it is cheaper than T3, and much kinder to your body than withdrawal from your meds! So strut away! Lol

I have no medical training, everything I post is an opinion or educated guess. It is not medical advice.
