SAS: I’m 27. I’m under the impression that having an RAI will not
affect me later on as far as having a normal pregency. Is that correct?

I realize an RAI is probably the best option. I’m going to ask the doc
a few more questions and maybe get it over within the next week.

What can I expect after that? I’m also wondering if I should be on
a beta blocker before I get the RAI. I read in some book that I
would be more likely to go into a ‘thyroid storm’ if I’m not on it.

I’m gradually becoming more educated about my situation. The
whole thing is kindof scary if you ask me. The permanancy of
the RAI I don’t particularly like. My doc wants to kill the entire
gland. I however know I have no desire to be hyper again. I’m
thinking the RAI would be the best in preventing becoming
hyper again.

Thanks for listening,
JenS
