I had RAI treatment in March, 1999. Went into remission in August, 1999. Came out of remission in January, 2000. Now I’m looking at having a thyroidectomy.
Everyone responds differently to the different treatment options available. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing before hand how you will respond in the long run.
I was sick for two weeks after RAI. Nauseated, dizzy, week and tired. Not everyone has these side effects, though.
It is best to really research all you can about GD and all the available treatments. Then take some time and think it over and discuss them all with your doctor.
Good luck to you!!
