    smtucker – thanx for the welcome – I’m about a month into it too. Good luck to you.

    cmac – The only reason I am expecting to have to make the RAI / surgery decision is that my endo gave me the clear impression that he did not consider ATD’s a long term solution. I guess I really need to talk to him (he and his office are REALLY hard to get to talk to).

    Kimberly – Thank you again – I know that stablization is not a exactly predictable thing. I should have said that it seems that it should be a shorter time than doing the RAI now and then starting the stabilization process with the thyroid replacement drugs. Again, my endo(actually his nurse) presented all three choices when she gave me all my test results.

    Thanx, Kimberly.

    As the unrelated surgery is something I need (but NOT for a life-threatening ailment), it sounds like I should do the Methimazole route until everything is stabilized as that should happen with 6-8 weeks(?), have the surgery and then make another decision about the long-term solution.

    Appreciate the response.
