So much for the prospect of being able to treat myself to dark chocolate during my low-iodine diet. It's the only kind of chocolate I can have right now since it doesn't contain milk or butter. I was at WholeFoods today in search of said chocolate. Sadly, just about every single bar of dark chocolate contained soy lecithin (a soy product) or was made on machinery shared by products that contained milk, soy, eggs, or butter, and I'm not even going to chance a trace amount of dairy or soy messing up my RAI treatment. So, I think I should just leave it off my list of what I can eat until July 4th.
I think I am finally starting to feel the effects of not taking any thyroid meds. Several times this afternoon I felt lightheaded. Luckily it didn't happen while I was driving. To be safe, I don't think I should drive until sometime after RAI, when my thyroid hormone levels are back to normal.
Both my dad and my dog had tough days today. I think my dad is battling food poisoning - he was feeling dizzy since this morning, then started to throw up around midday. Anytime he stands up he has had to hurl. His doctor's office said to bring him to UrgentCare if he has pain and a fever. Ok. As for my poor puppy, I think he has another yeast and/or bacterial infection, again. He has been so itchy that he has scratched off some of the fur around his left eye, and he has once again developed patches of dried puss all over his body. Hopefully both of them will feel better tomorrow.
