feel not so good

I went through the radation Iodine take up test almost a month now and had a biopsy done about two weeks ago. This was really painful. The doctor said because of a short neck and the nodules being low and far back that  they were hard to get at. Every since I have had alot of pain in neck and slight headaches, just feeling like I have been run over by a mack truck. Also I have been on methimazoid 3 times a day now for about a week, What are the chances I will still need the iodine treatments or surgery? Has any one else gone through the whole nine yards and been this sore from a biopsy?

How long since you had your levels checked?

It does take time for the Methimazole to 'kick in' but worth getting yr bloods done regulary as you can go hypo very quickly on MMI but you can also go hyper from not taking enough MMI.
