I’m a male 43 years old, (I guess thats middle aged) I was diagnosed last fall with Hyperthyroidism due to Graves with most the symptoms, shaky hands, high heart rate, high blood pressure, irritated eyes with left eye a little buggy, very intolerant of heat and the list goes on. My blood work confirmed it was Graves and My Doc gave me my choice of treatment. I chose RAI and just 3 weeks have gone by since and have already felt like i have more energy and my heart rate as well has gone down to somewhat normal. I go in this coming week for follow up blood work to see where my levels are. I really havent had any problems with the RAI and would go through it again if need be. So far so good and Im looking forward to my results on next weeks blood work. This disease has been quite a challenge so far, I find myself trying to stay calm and find myself at the end of the day very tired and irritable. But I have an awesome wife and family who have been great support and very understanding which helps. I would suggest to read and educate yourself about everything you can about this and these forums have some good info. Take care and good luck.
