Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Here is my point. Well, I have a lot of points, but I am not going to get into a debate with you because it is pointLESS, especially since you think that the people over at the site you suggest are " open minded " . Taking RAI and going out to eat right after (AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT) is not open minded. Taking RAI on the way to work at a campground with no vacancies is not open minded. That is what I call reckless. I digress... RAI can and does cause and worsen TED. Each and every patient who is being told by their doctor that they need RAI should also be told of contraindications, relative or absolute. It is called informed consent. I was not warned by my doctor, even when I asked him. It is my mission to be sure that patients don't have to walk a mile in my moccasins, because I am in the 5%, and it has caused me so much pain, physically and especially emotionally. I would suggest you go to the NGDF, where RAI is recommended as a safe treatment option for Graves Disease. Do some reading there, and see how many posts you read about TED.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 My G-d, can we move on, please? I am so stressed out by these e-mails already. YOU'RE RIGHT, Liang, OK? Is that what you want to hear? Sheesh. Now let's all have a nice weekend, and if anyone needs help, please let's hear from you.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I was thinking of going to digest because it might be easier on the nerves and I don't think those of us dealing with GD need for more nerve-wracking gunk in our lives, we manufacture enough of our own <smile>. Yes, everyone have a great weekend. I am going over to change my mail options and set it for relaxation.
