Hello Grst and welcome to the forum :

Personally I have no idea having been " treated " with RAI back in 2005:

There's a fair bit written and would think if anyone knows anything of any substantial substance it will be Elaine Moore who also has Graves and went through RAI around 20 odd years ago and finding no help nor understanding with her continued ill health started researching this poorly understood and badly treated auto immune disease herself.

With now several books published and through her foundation she probably has the largest pool of Graves sufferers in the World and there is an open forum much like this amazing platform where you can ask questions of the community, so between here and there, I think you'll have covered most bases.
