So many different symptoms to deal with. I have had quad weakness primarily. Dx in 2002 and Rx with RAI. Quads continue to weaken altho all levels are normal…Has anyone had that experience?

I have also had continuing quad weakness especially on left side…difficulty up steps and rising from chair. Do you know if that continues to progress or can? I have been doing quad strenghtening exercises and it seems to make no difference. I am 62 and am getting worried how this will affect me over the next 10-20 years.

Yes! Yes, I have this pain. I get pain that comes and goes in my eyes, especially the right one. I have pain below my neck and continued pain and weakness which is progressing in my quads. The weakness and pain in quads are most worrisome. I have trouble getting out of a chair and walking up steps. I had RAI 8 yrs. ago and still having issues!!! Like you, I was not at all like this before I was diagnosed. I keep hoping I will see some dietary connection or something that I can control. I take levothyroxine, zoloft, and various vitamins. Antibodies level was elevated last week and to see new endocrine next week.

Is there anything that can be done to stablize the antibodies…?
