lemon drops and update-RAI today

so, any thoughts on what kind of lemon drops to get? my husband got jolly rancher sour candy. a nurse said i could even suck on lemons. i'm trying to find altoid sours.

my scan lit up in the thyroid bed and the salivary glands.

my tsh is 133.84. no wonder i was falling over trying to demonstrate SIMPLE (and i DO mean simple) choeography today. is it going to take 400 years to get the tsh down?

i get 100 microcuries (is that right) tomorrow. thanks, everyone, for the support.

I would like to know the same. I am going in Wednesday for the RAI, and the hospital told meto bring lemon drops.  So ready to just get this over with.  Said to plan on staying 2 to 3 days.  Would think with all the money you pay the hospital they would supply the LEMON DROPS as well !!!!

BLUE Q makes some fun and vengful little bos=xes of sour candies. they are all natural and there are several flavors, two of which are called "sour-ex", based on angry break-ups! (spiteful and funny, if one doesn't really subscribe to such thinking). they are like compressed powder balls, and they taste good, because they're real food, not carcinogenic petrochemicals, like most candy. they seem to be doing the job on my salivary glands and helping my tummy. i am doing RAI outpatient. so far, so good, 2 hours into treatment. good luck to you on wed.
