Hi, Ricki. I was diagnosed May of ’98 and took the ATDs for a few months and had RAI October ’98. Thyroid burned out like 6 weeks later.
Gosh, darn, I should have continuted the ATDS longer. I think the endos just want to do RAI to be done with it and don’t have to monitor you so much. Who knows? In November my eyes started getting swollen. Coincidence? I think not! My neuro-opth thinks there may be a connection; my endo does not. Go figure.
Take care,
Renee
