Salivary gland pain
Has anyone experienced salivary gland problems after RAI? I had RAI two years ago and sometimes have pain under my ear when swallowing a bit like I had when I received RAI.

Radioactive iodine alternatives?
I am struggling with letting the Endo perform a radioactive iodine procedure to treat my Graves’ disease. The idea that my thyroid will be destroyed is unsettling. Has anyone had the procedure and has it helped. What is it like to have the procedure?

Endo adding T3
Hello everyone. I’m from the USA and love to read all of your posts here. I get so much valuable information here than I do in my own country. I had thyroid cancer 3 1/2 years ago and my thyroid was removed. I’ve had several RAI treatments. Normally my simulated TSH returns back to below 1. This time

carbimazole
A few years ago I was taking iodine drops (only 5 drops in water a day) after seeing a naturopath because I live in Tasmania and was told that we were all iodine deficient here) but over a period of 3 years it built up in my system and caused me to have a very high reading of an over active thyroid.

Thyroid and the environment: exposure to excessive nutritional iodine increases the prevalence of thyroid disorders in São Paulo, Brazil
We have had many discussions about iodine - specifically, iodine supplementation. This paper from 2008, which I do not remember ever seeing, is quite interesting and is fully accessible. [i]

Hyperthyroidism first appointment
Hi This is a follow on from my previous post. First appointment with consultant and as my liver enzymes were raised, they are taking me off carb, done blood tests and said other options radio active iodine or surgery if liver still raised. Wouldn’t entertain the idea of the other medication when I mentioned

Newly diagnosed hypothyroid - medicate or not?
Hi everyone I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism - accidentally! I'd had chest pains on and off for weeks, and since I am slim, my GP tested me to see if I was *hyper* thyroid... but it turned out the other way around! My numbers are not dramatic but I do have antibodies suggesting an auto-immune

Why RAI
Hi, I had RAI treatment after two and a half years on carb. because my consultant said if I continue carb. It would lead to liver failure. RAI is ok. You have to watch your weight increase. It's not a cure all. My symptoms apart from tachycardia still exist. Some are known to worsen after RAi such as
