Seems radioactive iodine worked on my thyroid and as agreed with cardio consultant after 3 months euthyroid and a lot longer heart in sinus rhythm I no longer take carbimazole as from today and last warfarin dose was Sunday night. I feel better already. Off to get INR check this morning but only because I am having a dental clean tomorrow and sometimes it can cause gums to bleed a bit and INR takes a few days to go back to normal . Still on Bisoprolol and Ramipril for blood pressure and to keep the ticker well behaved

You will be relieved and I hope your progress will be smooth.
You will need to get regular Thyroid blood checks because you may find that now your thyroid has been 'nuked' that it doesn't work well enough and you need to take Levothyroxine or something to stop you going hypo. Make sure you are aware of the symptoms so that you spot them early if they happen.
I have my next blood test at the end of April, so far so good but won't be complacent. Best wishes.
