Thank you very much Ski. I am taking your advice and looking for another endocrinologist who hopefully will take time out and listen to me instead of dismissing my concerns. When I was telling my dr that I am constantly exhaused and out of breath he blamed it on my overweight and the fact that I was a full time mom, wife and had a job. But, atleast I have the knowledge that RAI is not the worst thing.

ski asked a couple of questions that might help him give me a better answer. I am on PTU and Beta Blockers and high blood pressure medicen/ water pill. I was taking them 2pills four times a day and gradually the dr lowered me to only twice a day. my t3 and t4 is stable howerver my tsh level that i test every three months or so is still <0.01 she tells me i am fine but i do not feel fine and no one around me even slightly knows how exhaused and frustrated i feel. I am only 38 and I feel 70. I am thinking and researchin the holistic aproach because in the back of my mind i feel that RAI is a drastic measure and my weight will increase i am a size 20 now with out of control hyperthyrodism what will I turn into? Please I need as much input as possible.
