feels familiar

I'm generally OK these days, post-RAI, except when I'm not. Let's see:

- crushing fatigue that strikes at random, no matter how much sleep I'm getting? Check.

- fuzzy tongue, diminished salivary production, altered sense of taste? Check.

- complete aversion to coffee and other previous favorite foods as a result? Check.

- green-about-the-gills much of the time? Check.

- Other nasty digestive symptoms? Check.


Seems that being dosed with 100 mCi of radioactive iodine induces symptoms which perfectly mimic the early days of pregnancy. It was a lot easier to take when I was pregnant.

BTW, I am NOT pregnant. Just thought I would make that clear.
