Problems with Teva?
I have graves disease which was treated with
radioactive
iodine
in 2013. Since then I have been taking Accord Levothyroxine with no problems. Two months ago the pharmacy gave me Teva I didn't think anything of it. Since then I have gradually become very ill.

Surgery or not.
The 2 being
radioactive
iodine
and surgery. Her opinion being surgery was the best one for my age(48) even with the risks and even with having to take a pill then forever. I was diagnosed with Graves a year ago and hospitalised with symptoms.

Radioactive Iodine
I've just been offered
Radioactive
Iodine
. Seems a bit early in my journey but I'd like to get sorted. I'd be grateful for the thoughts of those who know more about thyrotoxicosis than I do please. Best wishes

Iodine, anyone?
When they do a DAT scan, the isotope they use to measure the integrity of the dopaminergic system of the brain is
radioactive
Iodine
?

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
I cannot do
radioactive
iodine
because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year. Currently, I feel okay but all my thyroid levels are completely NOT normal.

Worried
However I am having the other half of gland removed in two weeks time as a precaution and then
radioactive
iodine
. All blood tests for Thyroid hormone levels have been normal all along which I find odd as I feel like I have symptoms of hypothyroid.

Carbimazole and cramps
I really don't want to go down the surgery or
radioactive
iodine
route as my Endo team keep offering. Since I have not been able to get anyone from my Endo team, I have been researching the effects of PTU as I know nothing about this drug. Any advice or comments will be greatly received.

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
However, treatment may not work or may cause adverse side effects and
Radioactive
Iodine
treatment may then be necessary. I have an appointment to discuss
radioactive
iodine
therapy with the consultant on Tuesday, and am preparing questions. Any advice?

Iodine avidity in papillary and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer is predicted by immunohistochemical and molecular work-up
Is there any possibility of reducing the uptake of
radioactive
iodine
by other tissue? Classically, salivary glands have been affected by
radioactive
iodine
treatment.)
