Awesome! I took the RAI 20 years ago and only needed one dose myself. Before the RAI I was on 9 pills a day of PTU to slow the thyroid down to prevent a thyroid storm. In the last 20 years I have slowly gone up on my Synthroid dosage. But after having my last child, I finally stopped moving up on dosages and have been on .125mg for over 10 years.

I was diagnosed with Graves’ at age 19, I am now 39, and my mom was diagnosed as well when she was 19. My Endo says he definitely sees it in families. I have two teenage daughters who go in every 2-3 years for testing because I went years in agony not knowing what was join on, even though my mother suffered with it as well at a young age.
