Did you try both meds- the T one and the P one?

Just my 2 cents worth. My endo told me that if I went the RAI route, I would have to wait A YEAR before trying to get pregnant (I’m 38 and just starting my family, so it was important to know this). I would ask about this if I were you. Good luck!!!

Hi all. I’ve benefitted a lot from reading your posts. I was on ATD’s
about 3 weeks, then yesterday broke out in hives all over. Yuk! Major
allergic reaction, must stop taking them immediately. OTC antihistimines
did nothing, even at max dose, so dr. prescribed a stronger one plus
prednisone, which is working finally. Thought I would claw my own skin
off, the itch was so bad.

I had a consultation with the Nuke Doc, we decided to go for it – RAI
tomorrow afternoon. With ATD’s now out of the question, it is either
this or go under the knife. I have a phobia about surgery, so….

I feel well informed by my medical professionals about the effects, risks,
etc. But I would love to hear, firsthand, from folks who’ve done it –
get a more subjective opinion or two. I’m especially interested in hearing
about people who got pregnant after RAI, with good outcomes. I am nowhere
near completing my family, but running out of time on the biological clock.
(age 40)

Words of encouragement/warning also appreciated.

TIA,
smorg
