Only assuming they were taken off ATDs at an appropriate time for THEM, based on labs, TSI, etc., not an arbitrary cut-off date. Painful as it is at this point, I'm inclined to say we should all just agree to disagree, especially since Liang, and other people who join who had RAI (and who were likely rushed into it), should feel comfortable here getting the info they need. So many people I've met or written to who've had RAI were rushed into it, and even among those who do well, far too many regret not having been informed of all their options. It's pitiable how many doctors tell their patients that there are only 2 options for GD - surgery and RAI. take care, Fay ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I find it interesting that despite all that has been said, Liang, that this is what you get out of the discussion.
