Hi I too was recently diagnosed with graves. I undergo radio iodine therpy on the 29th. Im scared to death. Reading some of the stories has me thinking maybe i should not go. I havent told my husband or children too much about whats going on with me. I dont want to worry them and honestly so far ive understood very little of what my doc says. Theres a huge communication problem as he knows very little english and his words make very little sense too me. Can any of you help kinda walk me thru all of this. I live in a small town and he is the only endocronoligists for 80 miles. Im taking 6 propylthiouracl per day along with 1 heart pill per day. What can i expect after the treatment. I’ve gained 10 lbs in 6 weeks and am not enjoying that at all. I still have my hair and no bloody noses thus far. Please walk me thru this. I want to kno what to expect.
