I have been on methimazole since i was diagnosed. I don’t know why its taken so long to do RAI but it will be happening soon. My doctor had failed to call me last month when i was supposed to have it done to tell me that my levels were off, so now i am currently taking 5mg tablets two in the morning and two at night. My dosage for this medication has always been more than one. So when i was looking at this board i found it interesting to see that some people only take one, i guess it depends on the severity. My specialist told me to expect to become hypo in 10 years. According to him its easier to treat. As for the RAI itself i am not too nervous. I haven’t really heard a lot of bad things that can happen to you by doing it apart from hypo. If anyone wants to share an experiance with RAI that was not the most positive i would be interesting in hearing that too. Its better to be over informed than under.
Have a wonderful day
Melissa
