Has anyone else had this, and how did you cope with being semi quarantined? I feel really isolated.

Radioactive iodine treatment
I had it some years ago, i carried on as usual, still did the school run and so on just kept arms length from the children for a week or so.
That's exactly what I thought, but is it? The radioactivity is harmful to others, but they don't tell you how much!
The dose given for Graves is much lower than a dose given for thyroid cancer, in that instance people are kept in isolation for a while. The advice when I had it was to avoid close contact, arms length, from anyone who is pregnant and young children, use separate utensils and flush toilet twice, that was it.
hi yes I had it back in 2013 quite lucky I stayed at my sisters house for 3wks as my son was only 16 and my late partner was ill. My sisters place is in a small village surrounded by open fields.... spent many happy hours in total peace and long walks it was like a holiday...I missed my family but it gave me time to think and spoil myself lol. Its what you make of it Dorimori 😊 xx
