Huh? Some people are on ATDs long term (very low dose) but most get off

them within 2 years or so. It's the hormone replacement subsequent to RAI

that's life long.

Take care, Fay

Hi Dionne,

The most important dietary change is to start avoiding iodine, in your

multivitamin and elsewhere. You can help your immune system heal by avoiding

sugar,

caffeine, and saturated fats and by practicing stress reduction techniques

like deep breathing.

I've relied on Elaine 's Graves' Disease: A Practical Guide for

guidance. Overall, we need to heal our immune system but not stimulate it.

Best wishes.

Thank you that helps ALOT!
