    I understand your concern completely! To give you hope…I had RAI twice (my thyroid was so extreme, they couldn’t do surgery at the risk of causing a storm) Just make sure that if you have the RAI again, you talk to the Dr. about putting you on prednisone to protect your eyes from getting worse from the antibodies.
    I also have endometriosis and fibroids, even had a large cyst removed from my ovaries. My second RAI was in June 2003 and I had to begin taking synthroid in Nov. 2003.
    I had a healty, beautiful baby girl this June without even trying.
    I hope for the best for you, hang in there!

    my eye did literally fall out in my hand, i was rubbing it, funny thing is the first dr. i went to said, "well, don’t do that". now i’m being evaluated for treatment and hopefully some repair. I also forgot to add that the new endo. I’m seeing told me something else important, that if you’re taking synthroid, make sure you’re not being swiched between the name brand and generic, as this can affect the levels of medication you are taking. i had no idea there was any difference, but i am monitoring it now! synthroid has to be taken on an empty stomach, and preferably at the same time each day, and not with any vitamins, calcium affects the absorbtion of synthroid and vice versa, i’m told, so i take my synthroid first thing in the morning, wait an hour, eat, then take my steroids, and 12 hours after my synthroid, i take my vitamins.
