    Hi Nina,

    I’m sorry that your symptoms seem to be coming back ~ the eye disease is NO fun. I hope that you find something that works to give you relief.

    I just wanted to point out that resolving your eye disease issues would not preclude the need to treat your thyroid disease. They’re separate. Treating one does not treat the other. RAI can aggravate the eye symptoms, but it doesn’t cause (or resolve) the eye disease. A thyroidectomy would have absolutely no effect on your eyes. It would only treat your thyroid.
