Have the graves eye disease, waiting to see improvement.

Not sure if it was the right idea.

Treatment did work. Had to go through it twice to kill the little bugger. Probably saved my life.

Cancer free since 2005 after treatment. could not be around hubby and had to send 6 month old away for a week which really sucked. Sweated it out through extremeties.

possible growth or cancer ?

My last blood work showed that my thyroid levels finally come down to normal (still high-end normal). But I still have tachycardia which my doctor says will eventually return to normal, as well. I will say that the radioactive iodine did have more side effects than my doctor prepped me for. I had a significant aching pain in my thyroid area for two weeks. I also had nausea for a few days. I think it was the safest treatment for me though, as surgery carried a risk for a thyroid storm.

Just finished RAI. I get a full body scan this week to confirm that it worked.

I went extremely hypo in about 2 weeks,dealing w/that now. sometimes feel a thickness in my throat. I worry about long-term side effects of RAI..my dr. didn't give me other options and I was so sick, I just took his word.

The iodine worked! I had to have it, I was sick and very hyper, but now the iodine has distroyed my thyroid and I will have to remain on thyroid meds for the rest of my life.
