Hi Wanda,
There are stats out on getting the eye disease after the
RAI. There are stats out on getting the eye disease if you
are a smoker. I had the RAI and am a smoker. Yep, I got the
eye disease almost 2 years after I got the RAI. My eyes
were fine before that except for the occassional twitching.
I bet your husband is right, that the twitching is from
being tired!
My sister has GD too. She got it in her late 20’s and I got
in when I was 39. She had the RAI and is a smoker. I wish
she was not a smoker so then I could blame getting the eye
disease on heredity! What I mean is that I feel a little
guilty that I possibly made myself sicker because I smoke.
But then again I know this guy that has GD, he smokes and
he his eyes are fine and he had the RAI.
The decission as to what do is up to you. I can find the
pages off the net that show the stats if you want them.
Good Luck,
Michele B.
