Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 My husbands doctor is very vauge about RAI treatment and simply gave us a leaflet to read. I have read about the effects of this and some horror stories on the internet from various people. I understand this kills the thyroid which doesn't really deal with the actual problem so why do the medical profession feel it is an option? I would like to know what to expect if he does go down this route and how this will affect him (physically and emtionally) At the moment he is taking 400mg propylthioracil a day plus beta blockers to calm him down. He doesn't want to be on medication for the rest of his life but I think he will be if he goes down the RAI route anyway? Personal experiences from anybody would be useful in order to make an informed decision. Thanks Jemima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
