Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi all .. I am new to this group. But, not to Graves. I am a 28 yr old female. I was diagnosed w/ Graves 8 yrs ago but seriously started treatment 2.5 years ago. Low and behold the impossible (according to my Dr. and the makers of ortho novum) I wound up pregnant. After an extremely high risk pregnancy and battling food along w/ PTU to stay down. I had a " normal " healthy, happy baby boy. He is now 1 yr old and still " normal " although I have his levels tested every 6 mos. I would like to have another child some day in the near future 2yrs or so. But refuse to go through another pregnancy like this one.. So I have been seriously researching all my options. RAI doesn't seem like the right choice for me. (although valid and helpful to others including my brother who went through it 2 yrs ago.) I am leaning towards surgery. I would like imput from others who have gone through surgery. I do not need supporters of RAI trying to sway my decision. But, I would like to hear about their experience.. recovery time.. how they are doing now. I know everyone is different and bodies react differently .. Also if someone can explain to me how to not receive e-mails every time someone posts that would be helpful.
