From my experiences talking with my doctors, also, if thinking of Graves being there post treatment, my thyroid eye doctor explained to me last week that at least 3-5 years post RAI those antibodies are active. Why even though he said that post RAI that hypothyroid should not considerably worsen TED yet he has specifically said in past that thyroid levels need to be as balanced best as possible for the patient. So I hear from these doctors well antibodies are still there post RAI or TT yet a hypothroid condition is most of the time created post treatment yet we become eurothyroid when we go on the right amount of thyroid hormone; which in working with a good doctor we are then neither hyperthyroid or hypothyroid as long as our thyroid levels are kept in the right lab value ranges. Hopefully this makes some sense!…beach
