Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 OK, I've only copied Terri's signature line, but it is to the point: Here she is, 24 years after RAI, with a severe flare-up of TED! This is why, when someone says 'I just had RAI and I'm doing fine' I always wonder how they'll do later on. No matter what they say, RAI is NOT without its risks to your health in the long run. And it doesn't " cure " GD, either. If it did, Terri and Jody and others would NOT be having flare-ups of TED years later.
