Pancreatitis & Hyperthyroidism

[Guest guest]

Sam,

You wrote, " I, too, had hyperthyroidism and my thyroid was " killed " with the

radioactive iodine, thus making me hypothyroid. I'm curious how many others

have had this, and if there is possibly a link to the pancreatitis. "

I had thyrotoxicosis in 1988. I received R131, like yourself, and was

subsequently hypothyroid. They list my diagnosis as " Treated Hyperthyroidism " or

" Grave's Disease. "
