Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hi Betty, and welcome, I can't give you any answers on what you're going through as I'm on a different form of treatment but I wanted to say hello. The weekends are kind of quiet but as the week starts up you should be able to get some advice here. Of course, you did what your doctor advised, so he (she) should also answer your questions. Even on the weekend the office should have someone on call. There's no reason you should have to go through this without your doctor's help. The Graves' group on Mediboard.com currently has a thread posted about radioactive iodine, which might give you some answers as well. It's hard to keep from worrying at times like these but if you can be relaxed your body will have an easier time healing. And both here and on Mediboard you'll find lots of people who've had the same treatment, as it's the favorite choice of doctors in the U.S. (My own endocrinologist's partner had Graves' and chose RAI. She told me that it was the logical choice for her and for me.) Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
